In an FA Cup third-round match, Brentford FC faced selection challenges with Mads Roerslev being the only available full-back, leading coach Thomas Frank to joke he might play assistant coach Kevin O'Connor. Despite the difficulties, Brentford took the lead with a goal from Maupay. However, Wolves, reduced to 10 men after Joao Gomes was sent off in the ninth minute, managed to secure a 1-1 draw, thanks to a strike from Tommy Doyle. Wolves' performance was noteworthy, especially considering they played most of the match with a depleted squad. Brentford's coach Thomas Frank expressed frustration over the replay, considering it the 'worst outcome in every aspect'. This match marked the second consecutive January in which a Wolves FA Cup match experienced a lights-out incident.
