Match ends, Brentford 1, Wolverhampton Wanderers 1.
Wolves earned an FA Cup third-round replay with Premier League rivals Brentford despite having Joao Gomes sent off after just nine minutes.
Midfielder Gomes was given a straight red card for a dangerous tackle on Brentford captain Christian Norgaard.
The hosts dominated possession at Brentford Community Stadium and led on 41 minutes when Neal Maupay fired home.
But Wolves grabbed a draw in fine style as Tommy Doyle drove in from 25 yards for his first goal for the club.
Frenchman Maupay claimed his third goal since re-joining Brentford on loan from Everton in the summer to put his side ahead.
A loose ball rebounded out from the crowded six-yard area after a Mathias Jensen free-kick and Maupay placed his shot inside the left-hand post with power and precision.
It gave Brentford hope of their first FA Cup win over Premier League opposition since they beat Sunderland in 2005-06 as a League One side.
But Doyle, who was part of the Sheffield United side which reached the semi-finals last season, had other ideas.
On 64 minutes, the Manchester City loanee received the ball 25 yards out following a short corner and lashed a stunning shot past home keeper Thomas Strakosha.
Wolves therefore go to a replay in the third round for the second successive season, having been eliminated by Liverpool at this stage last year.
