Wolves’ Great Escape? Rob Edwards Hails “United Front” After Brentford Comeback.WEST LONDON — Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Rob Edwards has praised the “fight, courage, and spirit” of his squad after the Premier League’s bottom-placed club clawed back from a two-goal deficit to secure a -2-2 draw against Brentford on Monday night.

Despite the Opta Supercomputer currently giving Wolves a high probability of relegation for the 2025-26 season, the result marks a significant shift in the team’s resilience. Wolves have now managed to draw their last two matches in which they trailed by two or more goals (the previous one being against Arsenal in February)—a stark contrast to their previous record of 22 consecutive losses under the same circumstances.
