Heartache for Shrewsbury as Wolves salvage draw
Jan 26 (Reuters) - Wolverhampton Wanderers have bigger fish to fry than Shrewsbury Town these days having regained their Premier League status but on Saturday they avoided an FA Cup shock against the third-tier side by the skin of their teeth.
Shrewsbury, managed by former Wolves player Sam Ricketts, had led 2-0 after 70 minutes with goals by Greg Docherty and Luke Waterfall but Matt Doherty broke their hearts with a stoppage-time equaliser for Wolves.
For a club tucked away on the English-Welsh border, a home clash with Wolves counts as a 'derby' with only 30 miles separating them -- and a visit from Nuno Espirito Santo's cosmopolitan side, ensured a sizzling atmosphere at New Meadow.
