On Sunday night, we took a point from our trip to Molineux as we drew 1-1 with Wolves in the Premier League.
We made a lightning-quick start to the game as we were ahead within the first minute thanks to Tanguy Ndombele's arrowed strike from distance. However, we were made to share the spoils come full-time as the hosts scored an 86th-minute equaliser through Romain Saiss.
Here’s a look at some of the key statistics and numbers behind the game...
