66'

ARMSTRONG SHOULD SCORE

That was seemingly an impossible situation not to score from, but Adam Armstrong has managed to do exactly that. Mateus Mane manages to wiggle away from Jan Paul van Hecke and fire the ball at Bart Verbruggen's near post. The keeper denies the Wolves winger with his legs, sending the ball back into the middle of the box. Armstrong is there for what looks like a tap in, but he decides to take a touch and loses possession.

66'

Attempt saved. Mateus Mané (Wolverhampton Wanderers) left footed shot from the left side of the box is saved in the centre of the goal by Bart Verbruggen (Brighton and Hove Albion). Assisted by David Møller Wolfe.

65'

HINSHELWOOD'S PASS NOT QUITE PERFECT FOR WELBECK

That would have been a lovely assist as Jack Hinshelwood shapes to shoot on the edge of the box but instead looks to roll the ball into the path of Danny Welbeck darting into the box. It's just behind the forward though and the attack comes to nothing.

64'

João Gomes (Wolverhampton Wanderers) wins a free kick in the defensive half.

MOSQUERA HITS THE BAR

Hee-chan Hwang has a free header in the middle of the box that he miscues. Mateus Mane is first to the loose ball and dinks a decent cross back into the centre of the Albion area which Yerson Mosquera nods against the crossbar. A reminder to Albion that this game is not over.

Yerson Mosquera (Wolverhampton Wanderers) hits the bar with a header from very close range. Assisted by Mateus Mané with a cross following a corner.

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR DUNK

Kaoru Mitoma is tripped just outside the far corner of the box, free-kick to Albion. Maxim De Cuyper takes and picks out Lewis Dunk, who nods just wide of the top left corner. You get the feeling Lewis is going to get more opportunities from set-pieces this afternoon.

40'

31'

WELBECK'S CROSS CUT OUT

Pascal Gross plays the ball down the left of the Wolves box for Danny Welbeck. He chips in a first-time cross looking for Yankuba Minteh, but it's cut out by Toti. This game has lost it's string a little, almost like both teams are content with the scoreline. Hopefully that changes in our favour.

25'

Offside

Offside, Wolverhampton Wanderers. Hugo Bueno is caught offside.

24'

Yellow Card

Kaoru Mitoma tries to read the turn of Joao Gomes but gets it wrong, hacking down the Wolves midfielder just inside their half. The visitors probably could have had a decent run at goal had it not been for the foul, so a yellow card is justified, sadly.

MITOMA GOES CLOSE

Maxim De Cuyper might have been in line for some sort of Premier League assist record there as he nearly got his third after just 14 minutes of play. The Belgium international finds Kaoru Mitoma running down the left of the box, with the winger taking a touch before skewing wide to the left of goal.

Yankuba Minteh switches the ball from right to left and finds Kaoru Mitoma running down the flank. It's a stunning pass. He cuts across the edge of the box, feeds it out to Minteh who crosses low from the by-line, but it's cleared behind for a corner!
