Republic of Ireland international Chiedozie Ogbene made his first start of the season as Luton picked up a first point in the Premier League after fighting back to earn a 1-1 draw against ten-man Wolves.

Wolves had midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde sent off in the 38th minute for kicking out at Luton captain Tom Lockyer after sliding in for a tackle.

Pedro Neto gave the visitors the lead five minutes into the second half after latching onto a long ball.

The Hatters, though, were back on level terms in the 65th minute when Carlton Morris converted a penalty following handball from Joao Gomes.

Luton thought they have scored a late winner through Ogbene, who joined the club from Rotherham United in the summer, but the Corkman was flagged offside.

Elsewhere, Crystal Palace and Fulham played out a goalless draw at Selhurst Park.

Raul Jimenez went close for the visitors late in the first half when he forced Sam Johnstone into a good save.

Willian spurned a great chance late on, but sent his low shot too close to the Eagles keeper.

Everton eased the pressure on manager Sean Dyche after securing a first league win of the season with a 3-1 victory at Brentford.

Abdoulaye Doucoure gave the Toffees an early lead when he swept the ball into the top corner after a knockdown from James Tarkowski in the sixth minute and then saw a shot come back off the crossbar.

Brentford were then level in the 28th minute when Mathias Jensen converted Vitaly Janelt's slide-rule pass – with the goal eventually ruled onside following a lengthy VAR check.

Tarkowski’s header put Everton back in front midway through the second half before substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin wrapped things up with 20 minutes left.
