Wolves have submitted a formal complaint to UEFA over the way their fans were treated at their Europa League match in Braga.

Wolves took around 6,000 supporters to Portugal last week and the club received a large number of complaints from their fans.

Some reported on social media they were held up from going into the Estadio Municipal with claims they had phone chargers, flags, bags and food confiscated.

The teams drew 3-3 as both qualified from Group K to reach the last 32.
