Overview
- Referee Jarred Gillett dismissed Pereira around the 21st minute after he kicked a ball from the technical area toward the officials’ zone, with PGMOL citing "irresponsible behaviour."
- Some outlets reported the kicked ball struck the match manager in the officials’ dugout, a detail not formally confirmed.
- Marshall Munetsi’s deflected volley put Wolves ahead before Jan Paul van Hecke’s late header earned Brighton a 1-1 draw at Molineux.
- The result leaves Wolves winless at the foot of the Premier League table, although it is their first home point of the season.
- Assistant Luis Miguel apologised on Pereira’s behalf and said the kick was frustration with his team, while reports suggest he could miss the next match at Sunderland as a touchline ban looms.
