Wolves stage dramatic fightback to draw at Brighton

Wolves staged a dramatic late fightback to snatch a point and lift themselves off the bottom of the Premier League in a thrilling game at Brighton.

The home side looked to be coasting to three points and a place in the top four after substitute Evan Ferguson made it 2-0 in the 85th minute after in-form Danny Welbeck had opened the scoring at the end of the first half.

It left Gary O’Neil’s Wolves staring at a sixth successive league defeat.

But Rayan Ait-Nouri reduced the deficit in the 88th minute before Brazil forward Matheus Cunha capped an impressive performance with a deflected shot which went in off the underside of the bar in the 93rd minute.

The equaliser came moments after Brighton somehow messed up a four-on-one situation as they searched for a third goal.

It allowed Wolves to break up the other end through Tommy Doyle who produced the pass for Cunha’s late finish.

The point was enough to lift Wolves off the bottom of the table after a horrible run of results left O’Neil under serious pressure.
