Benik Afobe's second-half strike earns Wolves a 1-1 draw with promotion rivals Ipswich Town in the Championship.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have come from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at home to Ipswich Town in the Championship.

Richard Stearman's own goal put the visitors in front during the first half before Benik Afobe netted after the break to give his side a share of the spoils.

The visitors created the first chance with just three minutes on the clock when Daryl Murphy turned in the box before shooting narrowly wide of the target.

Wolves soon grew into the game, but they struggled to make anything happen in the final third despite enjoying the majority of possession.

They were made to pay on 21 minutes as Ipswich took the lead when Stearman flicked the ball into his own net following a Teddy Bishop corner.

The hosts continued to look bereft of ideas after going behind, though they managed to work half an opening when Nouha Dicko directed his header wide. The forward was in the thick of the action again soon after, but this time his effort was blocked by Christophe Berra.

Wolves' best opportunity to bag an equaliser came five minutes before the break when Dave Edwards's volley came back off the woodwork after some unconvincing defending from Ipswich.

Kenny Jackett's side started the second period in confident fashion, and they were rewarded on 51 minutes as Afobe tapped in at the back post for his 31st goal of the campaign after Rajiv van La Parra's strike fell into his path.

However, despite getting themselves back on level terms, Wolves saw their momentum fade quickly as Ipswich tried to take the sting out of the game.

With chances hard to come by, the away side threatened with 15 minutes left as substitute Stephen Hunt fired over the crossbar after working some space on the edge of the area.

Ipswich almost snatched the points at the death when Chris Wood was set free down the left, but the forward could only flash his drive inches wide of the post.
