"The Midlands side raced into the lead with just 22 minutes on the clock, when Marshall Munetsi rocketed the opener in from outside the box. However, his strike collided with the underside of the bar and went in off the back of goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen as he dived hopelessly to try and reach it, so it will go down officially as an own goal from the Dutchman."
"Moments before the goal, Carlos Baleba put in a strong, late challenge in on Hugo Bueno right in front of the dugouts. It was clearly a foul, and referee Jarred Gillett raced over to brandish a yellow card for the Cameroon midfielder. But he was forced back into his pocket moments later, this time reaching for his red, to send Wolves boss Pereira to the stands, with the Portuguese boss accused of irresponsible behaviour in the technical area,"
Marshall Munetsi put Wolves ahead when his long-range effort struck the underside of the bar and deflected off Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, recorded as an own goal. The goal arrived 22 minutes into the game after a late challenge by Carlos Baleba on Hugo Bueno near the dugouts. Referee Jarred Gillett initially issued a yellow card for the challenge, then upgraded to a red card for Wolves manager Vitor Pereira for irresponsible behaviour in the technical area as he protested the decision. Wolves began the match bottom of the Premier League with one point, making the dismissal costly.
