The Seagulls started brightly and looked threatening from the outset. Danny Welbeck thought he had opened the scoring in the 26th minute, but his finish was ruled out for offside, with Minteh deemed to have interfered with play. Moments later, Brighton got their breakthrough when Wieffer was brought down in the box, and Welbeck coolly converted the resulting penalty, sending Wolves' goalkeeper José Sá the wrong way to make it 1-0.
Despite Wolves dominating much of the second half, they failed to capitalize on their chances. Brighton, however, remained clinical, and in the 85th minute, Adingra's slick pass found Gruda, who stylishly chipped the ball over Sá for his first-ever goal in English football, sealing the 2-0 win.
Brighton’s win continues their impressive form on the road, with five of their seven away victories this season coming with clean sheets—more than their previous two campaigns combined. Wolves, on the other hand, have now lost back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since January, stalling their resurgence in the league.
With an xG of 1.51 to Wolves’ 0.92, Brighton showed both efficiency and defensive solidity, making a strong statement in their bid for European football next season.
