Wolverhampton Wanderers took Brighton & Hove Albion out of the Champions League spots with two late goals and snapped their six-game losing streak to add their second Premier League points this season (2- 2).
‘Wolves’, who were 2-0 up in the 85th minute, after goals from Danny Welbeck, who has accumulated five goals in this Premier League, and Evan Ferguson, who ended a streak of 26 games without scoring a goal, the tie was achieved at the horn.
First, Rayan Ait-Nouri took advantage of a dead ball in the area in the 88th minute to close the gap and in the 93rd minute it was Matheus Cunha who, on a counterattack, sparked a centered shot that hit Jan Paul van Hecke and slipped into Bart Verbruggen’s goal.
Thus, Brighton missed the possibility of finishing the day in the Champions League positions, because, if they had won, they would have been in fourth, pending Arsenal’s result this Sunday against Liverpool.
The ‘Seagulls’ remain fifth, with 16 points, while Wolves, led by their coach Gary O’neill, are in penultimate with just two points from nine games.
