Wolves 3 QPR 3

Andy Keogh grabbed a dramatic 95th minute equaliser to give Wolves a much deserved point against QPR at Molineux.

Mick McCarthy's side had served up one of their brightest home performances of the year so far but looked to be heading for defeat when Mikele Leigertwood fired Rangers into a 3-2 lead with 11 minutes remaining.

But Wolves never gave up the fight and in the fifth minute of added time a tremendous flurry of pressure on the Rangers goal finished with Keogh sliding home the equaliser from a narrow angle.

It was a pulsating finish to a thrilling match which had seen Rangers rock Wolves back on their heels in the 28th minute when Akos Buzsaky fired a terrific first goal past Wayne Hennessey.

Wolves finished the first half on the front foot and with Andy Keogh heading them level from a cross by the in-form Michael Gray.

But, before the second half had really got started, the first of two controversial penalty awards by referee Clive Oliver saw Rangers back in front from the spot via striker Dexter Blackstock.

When Matt Jarvis was then tripped in the area by Michael Mancienne in the 65th minute, Ebanks-Blake's seventh goal for Wolves set up a pulsating finish.

But Camp produced two mighty saves to deny Karl Henry and then Jarvis and give Rangers the chance to deliver their killer blow.

In the race for a place in the play-offs, the significance of the comeback will not be known for a while but at least McCarthy and his side can take heart from a revved up display that kept Molineux on its feet.

There are clear signs that one of their key players Seyi Olofinjana has at last found his form after producing a man of the match performance in midfield while Ebanks-Blake remains a handful.

The draw leaves Wolves in ninth place but just a point outside the play-offs.
