The wolves came back from 2-0 down in the 85th minute to take over Brighton after Matheus Cunha earned an impressive equaliser.
Gary O’Neil’s looks are still winless, they have moved from the back of the Premier League and shown their fighting spirit to leave their boss confident that they would be “very smart this season”.
“The main thing today is how much they had to dig into reaching for anything here today,” O’Neil said. “Not just because we’re 2-0, but we’re 2-0 and we haven’t won a game yet and we’ve still won a game and we haven’t won a game yet and we haven’t won a game yet. They have been checked to locate a way. “
Brighton looked ready to claim their third win outright and jump into the top 4 when replacement Evan Ferguson clinically doubled his lead due to the Wolves ruling half the time.
But the visitors pulled one back in the 88th minute into a corner through Rayan Ait-Nouri’s range-ending before Brighton squandered a four-on-one chance. Wolves’ Tommy Doyle intercepted and the ball was temporarily given to Cunha, whose shot deflected under the crossbar in the 93rd minute.
They were the least wolves deserved to have forced goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen to make several saves from the moment of Jorgen, Strand, Larsen and Cunha.
O’Neil’s appearance had been decisively defended in the first half until he cancelled out José Sa’s mistake, the goalkeeper misplaced his pass that allowed Brighton to temporarily slip into format to Danny Welbeck, who discovered the back corner in a time before the interval.
Kris Boyd of Sky Sports:
“The first half was not painted for the Wolves.
“If they hadn’t been into doing that and they lost some other game, they would have talked about some other decent functionality and didn’t choose anything.
“Wolves have to gain confidence, even from the opposition to Manchester City last week, to build that. They made the changes, they are back and they are a risk in the future.
“They have there so they can improve. “
Brighton’s head coach Fabian Hurzeler said:
“With the timing of the moment, I had the feeling that we were too passive, that we were going to have this consequence. We conceded a simple purpose, then we had the possibility to make the third purpose and they equalized from the transition.
“We have to be informed temporarily because we were not mature enough. We weren’t professional enough to win games like this. I know that they are still a young team with a lot of potential, but we have to be temporarily informed of reports like this. .
“That’s football, and football is brutal sometimes. We experienced it along the way, so we failed. Now, it’s vital to stay positive, locate positive things, stay together. In those moments, when you fail, you can show your character, you can show your personality, and that’s what I’m waiting for now. “
Wolves head coach Gary O’Neil said:
“I’m very happy. It gives me an idea that we were through the major aspect and created chances.
“We were aggressive, however, in the 85th minute when they got their goal for the moment, I have an idea I would have stayed here to answer tougher questions about how well you played again, but that’s another defeat.
“I’m excited for the players and the fans. The players gave a lot, and I know you can’t look like that because the effects can cloud things, but they gave a lot.
“If you stay doing this, you can’t continue to oppose you. We had to take a break and anything to get out of the way, and we kept going. “
