Wolverhampton Wanderers coach Gary O’Neil expressed his self-disappointment even as his team managed a thrilling 2-2 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion. The West Midlands side, sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table prior to the match, found themselves trailing 2-0 late into the game at Amex Stadium.
Facing a tough situation, Wolverhampton Wanderers turned their luck around when Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha scored to secure a draw. Cunha’s late goal, coming right after Brighton missed a golden opportunity to secure the win, salvaged a valuable point for Gary O’Neil’s side.
Reflecting on his tactics, O’Neil admitted that he regretted starting with a defensive five and believed a back four would have been more appropriate against Brighton. Switching things up at halftime proved crucial for the team’s performance.
While the draw extended Wolverhampton Wanderers’ winless streak to nine matches, they have shown consistent goal-scoring form this season, with goals in every Premier League fixture except for their opening-day defeat. As they prepare to face Crystal Palace in their next match, O’Neil’s side will seek to build on their fighting spirit and secure important points to climb up the league standings.
