Aston Villa 1-1 Wolves: Steve Bruce settles for derby point on Villa Park debut

Steve Bruce made a stuttering start to life as Aston Villa manager after Wolves came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw in the Sky Bet Championship.

Former Hull boss Bruce was given plenty of food for thought about what needs to be done if he is to restore Villa as a force, with Wolves repeatedly threatening to stun Villa Park by snatching all three points.

Eager to atone for their poor start to the season, which resulted in the exit of Roberto Di Matteo, Villa were given a boost when Jonathan Kodjia converted a 15th-minute penalty.
