Mac Allister, Trossard and Bissouma on target in Brighton’s win at Wolves
Bruno Lage had urged his Wolves players to seize the moment, comparing their run in to the 100m sprint but his side look set to splutter over the line and miss out on Europe after slipping to a third successive defeat. Wolves were maddening and muddled and this latest perplexing performance hinders their fading hopes of returning to a European competition. A first-half penalty by Alexis Mac Allister, who also rattled the upright from the spot, a smart finish from Leandro Trossard and a late drive by Yves Bissouma helped a business-like Brighton coast to a victory that keeps Graham Potter’s side on course for their highest ever top-flight finish. Willy Boly’s header on 85 minutes – Wolves’ first effort on target – was sarcastically jeered but seconds later, when Bissouma wrapped up victory from the edge of the box, the home seats emptied. Those left groaned upon confirmation of three minutes of stoppage time.
