Brentford were unable to bring an end to their recent awful form, nor exorcise the ghosts of a recent haunting, nor even impose themselves on opponents a man down after just nine minutes, after Wolves left west London with a deserved draw to take this intriguing tie to a replay.

Before the match a video from Thomas Frank implored fans to stick with his team. Still ravaged with injuries, they looked well off their usual boisterous selves and could not hold on to an advantage given to them by Neal Maupay just before half-time.
