After near-total dominance for Luton, Wolves, down to 10 men, were ahead, leaving their hosts facing the prospect of their most gut-wrenching defeat since their return to the top flight.
The way they battled back to earn their first point of the season suggests that, for all the premature talk of relegation, it is too early to dismiss their hopes of survival. It is testament to their improvement since being blown away by Brighton in their opening game that they will feel disappointed not to have a first league win.
