Wolves skipper Ruben Neves earned his side a 1-1 draw at Brentford with a stunning equaliser on Saturday but they stay in the Premier League relegation zone.

Neither side managed a shot on target in a forgettable first half but Brentford defender Ben Mee’s acrobatic volley to open the scoring in the 50th minute sent the home fans into raptures.

Wolves were only behind for two minutes though as Nelson Semedo played the ball across to Neves who curled a stunning effort into the corner.

Striker Ivan Toney then squandered a great chance to put Brentford back in front when he headed wide.

A well-earned point for Wolves was tarnished in stoppage time when forward Diego Costa was shown a red card after an altercation with Mee.

The result leaves Brentford 11th in the table with 15 points from 13 games, while Wolves are third-bottom on 10.

There are going to be seven additional minutes at the conclusion of this contest. Plenty of time for both sides to find a winning goal.

Neves gets Wolves moving with a sweeping pass that picks out Guedes, who subsequently tries to feed Costa. However, Mee reads the situation and quickly snuffs out the danger.

Podence required a lengthy period of attention following that Damsgaard challenge. However, the winger eventually returns to his feet, and can continue for the remainder of the contest.
