Morgan Gibbs-White’s late strike earned Wolverhampton Wanderers a 2-1 comeback victory against 10-man Brighton & Hove Albion in a drama-filled Premier League encounter at Molineux on Sunday.
Lewis Dunk fired the visitors ahead in the 13th minute, but the Brighton captain was dismissed early in the second half for a last-man challenge on Fabio Silva, turning the game on its head.
The hosts took full advantage of the extra man and drew level in the 76th when substitute Adama Traore fired home from close range after a neat one-two with Silva.

Percy Tau watched from the bench after Brighton & Hove Albion suffered a 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The South African international returned to the match day squad, but was only named on the bench after missing the last few clashes due to injuries and quarantine amongst others.
Brighton were reduced to instant defending by Wolves as a snap shot on the edge of the area by Joao Moutinho saw goalkeeper Robert Sanchez stretch across to palm for a corner-kick.
However, the tables turned real quick as on 13 minutes Lewis Dunk leaped onto a corner-kick from Pascal Gross to head into the far corner of the net.
