“I love Lewis Dunk - he’s a great lad.

“I can see that he is suffering because he wants to win.

“There is nobody wants to win more than Dunky. I think he’s leading by example in terms of his performances, he is at a really good level, and I think he’s not at his max, he can carry on improving, because he’s got that mentality, he’s got that desire, and he wants the best for the club, wants the best for the team.”

So said Graham Potter of his skipper ahead of Wolves' visit.

Dunk showed all that suffering, that mentality and that desire as he powered his way into the heart of the penalty area to stave off another home defeat.

His leap and header secured what can probably be described as a battling 3-3 draw.

This was not the win Albion wanted or maybe needed.

But a comeback from 3-1 down at the break will at least reassure absent fans there is no lack of fight.

Having gone ahead through Aaron Connolly’s neat finish, the hosts were seemingly out of it at the break.

Romain Saiss’s header, an unfortunate Dan Burn own goal and a Ruben Neves penalty – after Burn brought down Adama Traore – put Wolves in charge.

Meanwhile Connolly was heading to the changing room nursing his hamstring.

But a penalty 11 seconds into the second period when Maupay was fouled as he moved on to an Andi Zeqiri knockdown changed the game.

Zeqiri had gone on for Connolly while Davy Propper replaced the yellow-carded Yves Bissouma.

Maupay put away the penalty and hope was restored.

With more composure, Zeqiri would have had a goal to treasure.

But a nightmare miss was forgotten as, soon after, Dunk approached a corner with purpose, soared at the far post and headed in, seemingly helped by a touch off Saiss.

From then Albion looked the more likely winners.

But there was a let-off right at the end as Owen Otasowie headed over from point bank range.

There is still plenty to put right, still a suspension for Bissouma to serve and still a trip to Manchester City in the next league fixture.

But the fight is there. They made that clear.

With the skipper leading the way.
