In a disappointing turn of events, Wolves’ streak of bad luck against Brighton continued as they suffered a defeat at home to Fabian Hurzeler’s side. The last time Wolves managed to secure a win against Brighton in the Premier League was back in 2021.
During matchday 36 at Molineux, Brighton outshined the Old Gold with a 2-0 victory, taking advantage of Wolves’ lackluster performance on the field. Vitor Pereira, the Wolves manager, was visibly frustrated with his squad’s display, prompting him to make a quadruple substitution before the hour mark. Even star player, Goncalo Guedes, failed to impress and was replaced along with Matt Doherty, Matheus Cunha, and Joao Gomes.
The unexpected changes raised eyebrows among journalists Liam Keen and Nathan Judah, who speculated that Pereira’s decision was a clear message to his underperforming starting XI. Despite Cunha’s impressive record this season, Pereira showed that no player is safe from being substituted if they fail to deliver on the field.
As the end of the season looms, Wolves must maintain their focus and strive for a higher finish in the Premier League. The defeat against Brighton served as a wake-up call for the team, highlighting the need for improvement and consistency in their performances.
