Late Van Hecke Header Earns Brighton Draw at Wolves After Pereira Red

The result keeps Wolves winless at the bottom despite their first home point of the season.

Overview

  • Brighton drew 1-1 at Molineux as Jan Paul van Hecke headed in from a late corner four minutes from time.
  • Wolves led when Marshall Munetsi’s volley was pushed onto the bar by Bart Verbruggen and ricocheted in off a Brighton defender’s trailing arm.
  • Vítor Pereira was sent off in the first half for kicking the ball toward the fourth official’s area after a challenge involving João Gomes and Carlos Baleba.
  • Assistant coach Luis Miguel apologized for Pereira’s action and said the kick reflected frustration with his team rather than the referee.
  • Wolves remain 20th and winless but earned their first home point, while Brighton extended an unbeaten run to four matches as Fabian Hurzeler said his side deserved more.
