Wolves Academy under-18s completed their fixtures for the season with an impressive performance against highflying Manchester City - and were only denied all three points by a last gasp equaliser.
City are rated as among the best Academies the country, and reached the last four of the FA Youth Cup, but Wolves followed up their away draw earlier in the season with another share of the spoils and could have sealed the win.
Sam Winnall's 65th minute penalty opened the scoring at Compton but James Poole equalised with a well-struck free kick in stoppage time.
"Manchester City have an excellent reputation for the standard of their Academy but we have done very well against them this season," said Academy manager Kevin Thelwell.
"Our penalty arrived from some great build-up play which finished with Nathaniel Mendez-Laing finding himself one-on-one with their left back who brought him down.
"Sam stepped up and smashed home the penalty.
"We then created some more really good chances without being able to find a second goal, and City's coach Alex Gibson admitted we could have put the game beyond them.
"But with virtually the last kick of the game, they won a free kick and with the wind behind them I always feared they had a good chance to score.
"Their lad directed the ball over the wall and it finished up in the top corner with Richard Woolley having no chance.
"We were obviously unlucky not to take all three points from the game but the result is perhaps less important to me than the performance, which was one of our best of the season and a good way for the lads to finish things off."
