Wolves Draw 1-1 Brighton, Remain Bottom After Manager Sent Off

Wolves continued their winless Premier League run with a 1-1 draw against Brighton, despite taking an early lead through a fortunate own goal by Brighton's Jan Paul Van Hecke. Manager Vitor Pereira's tactical shift midway through the game, switching from a back four to a back three to protect the lead, led to Wolves losing their attacking outlet and inviting relentless pressure, which culminated in Brighton's late equalizer. Pereira was also sent off in the first half for kicking a ball into the dugout in frustration, reflecting the tension of Wolves' poor start to the season. Fans and pundits criticized key Wolves players, especially Hwang Hee-chan, whose performances have drawn widespread disappointment and calls for him to be dropped. Despite solid individual efforts and high work rate, Wolves' conservative approach after scoring allowed Brighton to dominate possession and create chances, resulting in a shared but unsatisfactory point. The club remains bottom of the Premier League, with crucial upcoming matches against Sunderland and Burnley to turn their season around.
