Wolves 1-1 Southampton: Theo Walcott's first goal since rejoining Saints earns draw

Southampton missed the chance to go third in the Premier League as Theo Walcott's first goal since rejoining the club was only enough for a draw at Wolves.

Saints had looked on course for victory when Walcott steered in Che Adams' cross in the 58th minute - his first league goal for the club since December 2005.

However, Pedro Neto levelled for the hosts 15 minutes from time, following up Raul Jimenez's low drive after it came back off the left post.

Southampton remain fifth, while Wolves move up three places to ninth.
