Micah Richards has voiced his confidence in Wolverhampton Wanderers’ survival in the Premier League following their resilient 2-2 draw at Brighton. The former player suggested that Gary O’Neil’s team might just have what it takes to outperform their struggling counterparts due to their wealth of experience.
The dramatic showdown at the Amex Stadium saw Wolves claw back with late strikes from Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha, lifting them from the bottom of the table. This remarkable comeback followed their heartbreak against Manchester City, where a 95th-minute goal cost them the three points.
Richards, speaking on Match of the Day, expressed his belief that Wolves could steer clear of relegation this season, attributing their seasoned squad featuring players like Strand Larsen, Ait-Nouri, Cunha, and Joao Gomes for this hope.
Despite securing a draw on the weekend, O’Neil’s squad is determined to halt their disheartening Premier League streak, having won just once in their previous 19 matches. The 2-2 result has left Wolves in 19th place, four points adrift of safety, following Crystal Palace’s victory against Tottenham Hotspur.
As only Luton Town, Wolves, and Southampton remain winless in the league, Wolves supporters are eager to see their team bounce back as they prepare to face Crystal Palace and Southampton in the upcoming fixtures.
Despite boasting the league’s weakest defensive record with 25 goals conceded in nine matches, O’Neil’s team is determined to turn the tide and climb up the leaderboard.
