Wolverhampton Wanderers' produced a stirring Europa League fightback to beat Slovan Bratislava in Slovakia and move into second spot in Group K.
Trailing at half-time to Andraz Sporar's deflected shot, Wolves scored twice in the space of five second-half minutes through Romain Saiss and a penalty by Raul Jimenez.
Morocco midfielder Saiss equalised with a shot which keeper Dominik Greif should have kept out before Jimenez was fouled by Vernon de Marco - the Mexico forward picking himself up to score from the spot.
Substitute Diogo Jota was sent off in the 87th minute for two yellow cards in the space of a minute but Wolves held on to secure a superb win.
The match was officially played 'behind closed doors' because of racist chanting and banners during a Europa League play-off match at the Tehelne Pole stadium.
However, Slovan were allowed to give tickets away to schools and football academies, which meant the hosts were cheered on by 20,000 children in Slovakia's capital. ((BBC)
