Another lead that we failed to hold on to! For the fourth time this season, the Wolves found themselves in front but could not convert that into three points. Yesterday’s 2-2 draw against Bremen saw Niko Kovac’s team turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead, but they had to be content with a point at the end of the day. Here is a breakdown of what happened on Matchday 10.
Five points off Europe
The Green-and-Whites at least managed to stem the flow after losing their last three league games. It leaves them in ninth place, five points behind of Hoffenheim in sixth.
First draw: The result was the first draw of the season for both VfL and Bremen.
First sending-off: Maxence Lacroix picked up his second yellow card of the match in the 88th minute to record the team’s first dismissal of the season – and his fourth in a Wolves shirt.
Man of the Match again:Kevin Paredes was once again named Man of the Match. As was the case after the Augsburg game, the US dribbling wizard – who scored VfL’s second goal – picked up the most fan votes (57 per cent). Well done, Kevin!
