Sylvan Ebanks-Blake scored his first goal of the season to rescue a well-deserved 1-1 draw 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 ahead with 10 minutes remaining.

But three minutes later Ebanks-Blake levelled from the penalty spot after Villa midfielder Steve Sidwell had brought down Michael Kightly.

It was no more than Wolves deserved after a committed and tenacious performance although they were under the cosh for the majority of the second period.

They restricted the visitors to only a handful of clear-cut chances with Jody Craddock impressing at the heart of the Wolves defence.
