Tommy Doyle's spectacular goal rescued Wolves in the FA Cup as they earned a Third Round replay, drawing 1-1 against Brentford despite playing with 10 players for the majority of the match.
The setback occurred early on when Joao Gomes received a straight red card for a foul on Christian Norgaard, leaving Wolves with a numerical disadvantage for 81 minutes.
The Bees suffered another blow as Norgaard, already dealing with injuries, couldn't continue.
Nathan Collins, formerly of Wolves, was close to score but his shot narrowly missing the target.
Josh Dasilva, returning from a hamstring injury, tested Wolves' goalkeeper Jose Sa before Brentford took the lead just before halftime.
Neal Maupay capitalised on a chaotic situation following a free-kick to score his third goal of the season.
In the second half, Wolves unexpectedly equalised when Pedro Neto set up Tommy Doyle for a powerful left-footed strike from the edge of the area, with 64 minutes played.
The hosts had chances to win the game, with substitute Myles Peart-Harris missing a chance and Jose Sa saving a header from Keane Lewis-Potter.
Both teams had to settle for a draw, and now they will return to Molineux with an FA Cup fourth-round spot at stake.
