For a man who had just seen his side salvage a stoppage-time point in an eight-goal thriller, Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic was pretty downbeat.

And for a man on the wrong end of that late equaliser, Wolves boss Paul Lambert was strangely euphoric.

It was just that sort of madcap afternoon.

Fulham fell behind to Kortney Hause’s header but scored three times in 10 minutes to deservedly lead 3-1 at the interval through Stefan Johansen, Floyd Ayite and Tom Cairney’s belter.

Wolves staged a superb second-half recovery to level through Matt Doherty and Ivan Cavaleiro.

And they looked to have won it when Dave Edwards lashed home in the 90th minute but Ayite rescued Fulham a point in time added on.

A win would have put the Cottagers in the top six and Jokanovic admitted he did not know whether a point was a blessing or a disaster.

He said: “I don’t know the answer to this question! We led 3-1 and then we were really close to losing the game.

“I don’t know whether we lost something today or whether we won something.

“We controlled many things and we scored goals but we can be more clinical.

“We didn’t kill the game before they scored their second goal and we suffered for that.

“We didn’t manage our situation very well especially in the last half an hour.

“Wolves, with very simple football, created so many problems and in this situation we have to be more solid.

“We have to improve and not show our weaknesses like we showed today.”

Lambert, meanwhile, was full of praise for his troops despite Ayite’s late leveller depriving Wolves of two points in their bid to climb away from the bottom three.

He said: “I thought we were absolutely brilliant.

“It’s not often you see those type of games. That’s why you play the game and that’s why I have got back into it although it’s heart-attack material!

“We were up against a really good side and we are a young team but I thought in the second half we were outstanding.

“We need a little bit of help in January, there’s no two ways about it, a bit of knowhow but we have a young, talented team.

“I’m proud of the way we came back. It’s another point to climb the table, we should have had three, but the performance was excellent.”

Wolves led on 22 minutes as Hause’s downward header from Helder Costa’s corner squeezed under David Button’s body.

They should have made it 2-0 but Nouha Dicko scuffed wide of an open goal after Button mis-fielded Tim Ream’s headed backpass.

Fulham made them pay fully as Johansen swept a fine equaliser into the top corner from 15 yards and Ayite’s free header bulleted them in front.

When Ayite’s training ground free-kick picked out Cairney to spectacularly volley home Fulham’s third on 42 minutes, it seemed game over.

A cracking double save from rookie keeper Harry Burgoyne, on his league debut, kept Wolves in it after the break as he foiled Cairney’s 20-yarder and Sone Aluko’s follow-up.

And Wolves capitalised as Doherty hammered home from close range and Cavaleiro thundering in a fine equaliser.

The turnaround seemed complete when Edwards lashed home a loose ball from a tight angle as the clock turned 90 but Ayite headed home Tomas Kalas’ knockdown in stoppage time to level.
