Sylvan Ebanks-Blake scored his first goal of the season to rescue a much deserved point for Wolves and deal a blow to Aston Villa’s European hopes. Gabriel Agbonlahor maintained his hot scoring streak by netting for the sixth time in eight games to put Villa into the lead with 10 minutes remaining.

But three minutes later Ebanks-Blake levelled from the penalty spot after Villa midfielder Steve Sidwell had fouled on Michael Kightly. It was no more than Wolves deserved after a committed and battling performance although they were under the cosh for the majority of the second period.

The Wolves restricted the visitors to only a handful of clear-cut chances with Jody Craddock impressing at the heart of their defence. Villa looked only a shadow of the side which had secured seven points from three meetings with Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea in recent weeks.

Todays match will be of concern to manager Martin O’Neill that they have in contrast dropped points against the likes of Wigan, Blackburn and now their struggling midlands rivals.
