Perhaps the biggest surprise in this stop-start and spiky affair between Midlands rivals was that it took until the 94th minute for someone to see red. Wolves ended this ill-tempered draw with 10 men after Mario Lemina was sent off for picking up a second yellow card during 12 minutes of stoppage time but held on in a fraught finale against Aston Villa to claim a point.
Unai Emery and Gary O’Neil did not shake hands following a flashpoint at the final whistle, the former not content to wait around while his opposite number quizzed the fourth official, Paul Tierney, about why the game ticked past 103 minutes.
