Nathan Collins was left with mixed emotions following his return to Molineux on Tuesday night.

The defender, who spent the 2022/23 campaign at Wolverhampton Wanderers, scored the first goal of the game, bundling home from close range inside the opening quarter of an hour.

But after drawing 2-2 in normal time, Matheus Cunha’s 110th-minute penalty consigned Brentford to a defeat in the Black Country.

“It’s frustrating, obviously. We put a lot into it, the lads worked hard. We put everything into it that we could. A bit of luck went their way with the peno.

“It was 50-50 all the way through; we made it difficult for each other.”

On his goal, Collins added: “It came to me and I tried to get in a good position as I always do to see if it would land for me, and fortunately it did. At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter now does it?

“I enjoyed my time here with the lads and the staff. The fans gave me a bit of stick, but it’s part of the game.”
