Wolves pulled off a remarkable comeback at the Amex Stadium to earn a point against Brighton on match day nine of the Premier League. Down 2-0 until the 87th minute, late goals from Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha turned the game around and helped Wolves end a run of five consecutive losses.
Gary O’Neil’s tactical adjustments played a key role in the draw. In particular, he brought on Pablo Sarabia at halftime, who made an immediate impact in his first Premier League appearance this season. Despite completing only 13 passes, Sarabia made them count, providing three key passes and creating opportunities in the final third. His performance, which included winning three duels, might lead to him being rewarded with a starting spot in Wolves’ next match against Crystal Palace, especially if O’Neil switches formations.
Tommy Doyle was another notable inclusion, replacing summer signing Andre and making a significant difference. Wolves’ fans and pundits have called for Sarabia to get more minutes, with some analysts, like journalist Nathan Judah, suggesting he needed to prove his form after a slow finish to last season. Now, with the recent performance against Brighton, O’Neil may give him more responsibility going forward.
The result not only gave Wolves a much-needed point but also injected new energy into the squad as they look to turn their season around.
