Brentford vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
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.
