The pattern continued at the start of the second period with Jimenez flashing a header just wide for the away side. Marco Silva’s men slowly offered a greater threat but needed a moment of individual brilliance from substitute Solomon to pull level when he curled home his third goal in as many matches on 64 minutes.

Wolves were left to hang on late in the battle but will feel they again blew a significant opportunity to pick up the full complement of points that their overall performance probably warranted. The result sees Julen Lopetegui’s men stay in 15th place, four points clear of the drop zone having played a game more than all of their rivals. Fulham stay sixth but miss the chance to move within a point of fourth-placed Tottenham.

The Cottagers now switch focus to the FA Cup and a fifth-round clash at home to Leeds United on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Wolves visit Liverpool in the Premier League on Wednesday.
