Brighton 2-2 Wolves: Will a late comeback prove a turning point?

Brighton 2-2 Wolves: Will a late comeback prove a turning point?

There has yet to be a managerial sacking in the Premier League this season, but Gary O’Neil must have been a seriously concerned man in the 85th minute at the Amex Stadium.

At that point, Brighton substitute Evan Ferguson scored to make it 2-0 and leave Wolves staring at a sixth successive top-flight defeat.

Then the comeback of all comebacks.

When Rayan Ait-Nouri struck in the 88th minute, it seemed nothing more than a consolation. Step forward Matheus Cunha to cap a fine performance by saving an unlikely point in the 93rd minute.

Fittingly, it was Brazilian forward Cunha who came to the rescue.

He was Wolves’ best player, but will his fourth Premier League goal of the season be a turning point for his side?

They host fellow strugglers Crystal Palace and Southampton in their next two games, which are must-win games for O’Neil, whose last 19 Premier League games have produced just one win.
