75’
Substitute Pedro Neto cancelled out Theo Walcott's second-half goal for Southampton to earn Wolverhampton Wanderers a 1-1 draw at Molineux.
A double-save on six minutes by Alex McCarthy from Raul Jimenez and Leander Dendoncker set the tone for a fine performance from the Southampton goalkeeper, while Walcott brought a good stop from Rui Patricio at the other end.
Stuart Armstrong then dragged a shot just wide after a flowing Saints move before Daniel Podence’s flicked header for Wolves brought an even better save from McCarthy.
Podence threatened for the hosts again early in the second half but Saints broke the deadlock on 58 minutes when Che Adams drilled a low cross for an unmarked Walcott to score.
It was Walcott's first league goal for Southampton in almost 15 years.
Walcott then fired wide when clean through and, with 15 minutes left, Wolves made him pay.
A sumptuous turn and low shot by Jimenez hit the woodwork, but Neto made no mistake with the rebound.
Southampton remain fifth on 17 points, while Wolves are ninth, with 14 points.
