Wolves staged an incredible late comeback to snatch a 2-2 draw at Brighton, lifting themselves off the bottom of the Premier League table. Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha scored crucial goals in the 88th and 93rd minutes.

Wolverhampton Wanderers produced a stunning late fightback to earn a 2-2 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion, climbing off the bottom of the Premier League table. The visitors seemed destined for defeat after Evan Ferguson's 85th-minute goal put Brighton 2-0 ahead, following Danny Welbeck's opener on the stroke of halftime.

However, Wolves refused to give up. Rayan Ait-Nouri reduced the deficit in the 88th minute, and Matheus Cunha sealed the dramatic comeback with a deflected shot in the 93rd minute. This thrilling equalizer came moments after Brighton squandered a four-on-one counter-attack, allowing Wolves to break away and capitalize through Tommy Doyle's pass.

Wolves' gritty performance and late resurgence may signal a turning point in their struggling season. Despite having only one win from their last 19 Premier League games, this hard-fought point could boost morale ahead of crucial matches against fellow strugglers Crystal Palace and Southampton.

Brighton, meanwhile, missed an opportunity to occupy a Champions League spot. Captain Lewis Dunk's injury in the warm-up added to theirdisappointment, with Danny Welbeck taking the armband and scoring his sixth goal in nine top-flight matches. The Seagulls had previously staged an impressive comeback against Tottenham, overcoming a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2.

The draw leaves Wolves still under pressure, but Gary O'Neil's side will aim to build on this spirited display to rediscover their winning formula.

Statistics:

• Wolves' first point from a losing position this season
• Matheus Cunha's goal was Wolves' first from open play since August 26
• Danny Welbeck is now tied with Chelsea's Cole Palmer as the leading English scorer in the Premier League
