DUBLINER Matt Doherty came to Wolves’ rescue as his late equaliser prevented an FA Cup upset at the hands of League One Shrewsbury.
Wolves, eighth in the Premier League, found themselves 2-0 down at the Shrews, who are toiling in the third tier.
However Raul Jimenez pulled one back before Doherty struck in the 93rd minute.
The full back was left unmarked to meet a cross from Adama Traore and nod the ball into the bottom corner to earn his side a replay at Molineux.
Darren Randolph would have known how Shrewsbury keeper Steve Arnold was feeling.

Long misery
Kevin Long endured a torrid day as Burnley exited the cup after a 5-0 drubbing at Manchester City.
The Cork man put through his own net after 73 minutes before conceding a penalty that Sergio Aguero converted.
