Diogo Jota\u2019s double stretched Wolves\u2019 unbeaten record to 11 matches after a 2-2 draw at Brighton.<\/p>\nDiogo Jota\u2019s double stretched Wolves\u2019 unbeaten record to 11 matches after a 2-2 draw at Brighton.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese frontman struck either side of quickfire goals from Neal Maupay and Davy Propper in a crazy 16-minute spell at the end of the first half.<\/p>\n
Another point on the road lifted Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s spirited side back up to sixth, while Brighton\u2019s encouraging start to the season continued as they moved level with Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Brighton, still buzzing after Thursday night\u2019s memorable win over the Gunners, almost scored in the opening seconds.<\/p>\n
Leandro Trossard stood up a tempting cross, Steven Alzate\u2019s header was blocked and Maupay skied the rebound, before Lewis Dunk headed the resulting corner narrowly over.<\/p>\n
Wolves responded through a Ruben Neves drive which flew inches wide and Seagulls keeper Mat Ryan made a fine save to keep out a header from Romain Saiss.<\/p>\n
The visitors should have gone ahead after Adam Webster dallied on the ball in his own penalty area and was pickpocketed by Jota.<\/p>\n
Jota squared the ball to Raul Jimenez but just as the Mexican shaped to shoot Dunk got a foot in.<\/p>\n
Not that it mattered, as moments later the same duo combined to fire Wolves in front.<\/p>\n
Jota collected the ball on halfway, sent Jimenez down the left and then raced into the area to meet the cross and sidefoot home.<\/p>\n
Jota was denied a second by Ryan after racing through one-on-one, and the miss quickly proved costly when Brighton launched an astonishing turnaround.<\/p>\n
First Maupay latched on to a ball over the top from Dale Stephens and crashed a superb first-time shot inside the near post.<\/p>\n
Then Wolves, who moments earlier had been in cruise control, were stunned again 90 seconds later when Trossard pulled the ball back and Propper thumped his header home.<\/p>\n
It was Dutch midfielder Propper\u2019s first home goal for Brighton, more than two years after joining the club, but it took him just eight minutes to cancel it out as a breathless first half came to a close.<\/p>\n
Propper\u2019s blind pass sideways rolled straight to Jonny, who was able to slip in Jota for his second to equalize.<\/p>\n
After the break Dunk survived a VAR check after blocking Jota\u2019s close-range shot, with Wolves claiming a handball which would have been harsh.<\/p>\n
Wolves could have snatched the win late on when Patrick Cutrone reached the byline and pulled the ball back but fellow sub Pedro Neto was unable to provide the finish.<\/p>\n
