Wolves managed to secure a point against Brighton over the weekend in a thrilling comeback, with one player, Santiago Bueno, being praised as “outstanding.”
The game seemed to be slipping away when Evan Ferguson put Brighton 2-0 up in the 85th minute. However, Wolves fought back with late goals, starting with Rayan Ait-Nouri’s strike. Then, Matheus Cunha received a superb pass from Tommy Doyle—who had previously thwarted a dangerous four-on-one Brighton counterattack—and calmly finished into the far corner, sparking celebrations among the traveling fans.
Several Wolves players were lauded for their efforts, with Bueno particularly standing out. After only recently breaking into the starting lineup, the Uruguay international appears to be securing his place under manager Gary O’Neil. Bueno has now started two consecutive games and seems to be finding his rhythm, benefiting from a system shift that complements his playstyle.
Wolves Women’s head coach, Dan McNamara, praised Bueno’s performance on *Matchday Live Extra*, highlighting his aggressive approach and strong second-half performance alongside teammate Craig Dawson.
Since his £8.5 million move from Girona, Bueno has had limited chances, with speculation even suggesting a possible loan exit over the summer. However, he has remained focused, earned his spot, and is now forming a solid partnership with Dawson. This rise mirrors Toti Gomes’ journey last season, when he transitioned from the bench to become one of Wolves’ most reliable players.
