Brighton 2-2 Wolves: Matheus Cunha strikes late equaliser to salvage thrilling draw for Gary O'Neil's team

In a thrilling comeback, Wolves rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the 85th minute to secure a valuable point against Brighton. Matheus Cunha emerged as the hero, scoring a dramatic equaliser in added time to salvage a draw for his team.

Gary O'Neil's side remain winless although they have moved off the bottom of the Premier League and showed their fighting spirit to deny the hosts from jumping into the top four in a dramatic finale.

Brighton looked set to claim their third consecutive victory when substitute Evan Ferguson clinically doubled their lead late on after Wolves had dominated the second half.

But the visitors pulled one back in the 88th minute at a corner through Rayan Ait-Nouri's close-range finish before Brighton squandered a four-on-one opportunity to finish the match. Wolves' Tommy Doyle intercepted and quickly got the ball forward to Cunha, whose shot deflected in off the underside of the crossbar in the 93rd minute.

It was the least Wolves deserved having forced goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen into several saves during the second period from Jorgen Strand Larsen and Cunha.

O'Neil's team had defended resolutely in the first half until they were undone by Jose Sa's mistake, the goalkeeper misplacing his pass which allowed Brighton to quickly slip in the in-form Danny Welbeck, who found the bottom corner shortly before the interval.
