Brentford v Wolves
Brentford stumble in race for Europe, draw with Wolves
Tolu Arokodare scored a late Wolverhampton Wanderers equaliser as Brentford let a two-goal lead slip to dent their Champions League challenge.
Igor Thiago had celebrated his first call-up for Brazil by putting Brentford 2-0 up against the Premier League's bottom club after Michael Kayode's opener.
But Adam Armstrong pulled one back for Wolves before half-time and, in a frantic second half, Arokodare hauled them level.
Rob Edwards' revitalised side almost snatched a third straight win -- and a first away from home this season -- but Arokodare's header thudded against the crossbar.
It was a match between the team trying to pull off the Premier League's greatest escape and the side bidding to become the unlikeliest Champions League qualifiers -- but unfortunately a draw was of little use to either.
