Kenny Miller was the Wolves hero for the second time in five days when he struck in the last minute to secure a 1-1 draw against Liverpool.

The Scottish international, whose first-ever Premiership goal was enough to beat league leaders Manchester United 1-0 on Saturday, earned another point for the struggling Midlands side when he drove home a left footer following a cross by Denis Irwin.

It was an unlikely result after Liverpool had dominated throughout. French midfielder Bruno Cheyrou, who scored his first league goal for the club to secure a 1-0 victory over Chelsea two weeks ago, doubled his tally to put them ahead three minutes before halftime at Molineux.

He clipped in a shot from six metres after a superb through ball by defender Steve Finnan to give Liverpool a deserved lead. The visitors continued to press after the break and Emile Heskey and Michael Owen were both denied by good saves from Michael Oakes.

Danny Murphy also hit a post late on but Wolves kept working and got their reward at the death. The result takes Liverpool to 33 points and above Newcastle United into fifth place on goal difference.

However, they are four behind Charlton Athletic, who occupy the fourth Champions League spot, and 19 behind leaders Arsenal. Wolves remain second-last on 19 points, three adrift of safety.
