Gary O’Neil’s men had been 2-0 down with five minutes to go before striking twice late on to rescue a point, though they still remain winles🎃s after nine games.

Danny Welbeck opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time as Georginio Rutter threaded the ball through to the Englishma✨n and he made no mistake by firing 💜across goal and into the bottom-left corner.

Evan Ferguson appeared to put the game to bed five minutes from time with an incisiꦚve strike from the edge of♛ the box.

But Rayan Ait-Nouri gave the visitors hope when he struck following a corner in the 88th minute before Cunha sent the away fans into raptur𒐪es with a stoppage-time equaliser.

Brighton sit fifth while Wolves move up to 19th in the Premier ꦅLeague table, overtaking Southampton.

Data Debrief: A good game for the goalscorers

Welbeck has now scored in three successive games for only the third time in the Premier League, previously doing so in Janua🍨ry 2014 with Manchester United and November 2010 with Sunderland.
