Just hours after receiving his first call-up to the Brazilian national team, Igor Thiago helped Brentford take a two-goal lead against Wolves, but the visitors fought back to secure a 2-2 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Michael Kayode opened the scoring for the Bees in the 22nd minute, heading in a cross from Keane Lewis-Potter. Thiago doubled the advantage shortly after, tapping home after excellent work from Dango Ouattara, who controlled a long kick from goalkeeper Caoimhin Keller.
Wolves pulled one back just before half-time through Adam Armstrong, who curled in a fine finish for his first goal for the club. The visitors continued to press after the break and equalised in the 78th minute when Tolu Arokodare headed home.
Wolves boss Rob Edwards praised his side's resilience: 'I think we could've taken all three points today. I'm really proud of the way the players fought back.' Brentford manager Keith Andrews expressed frustration at failing to manage the game but was delighted for Thiago's Brazil recognition.
The draw leaves Brentford just outside the top six, while Wolves extended their unbeaten run to three matches, though they remain in the relegation zone. Both sides had chances to win, with Arokodare hitting the crossbar and Armstrong striking the post in the second half.
