Brighton 3-3 Wolverhampton Wanderers: Player Ratings as Seagulls fight back to earn a point against Wolves

Brighton & Hove Albion came from two goals down against Wolverhampton Wanderers to secure a hard-fought 3-3 draw in a thrilling encounter on the south coast.

The Seagulls took the lead on 13 minutes, when Aaron Connolly reacted quickest to turn Leandro Trossard's in-swinging cross beyond the onrushing Rui Patricio. Their joy was short-lived however, as only nine minutes later, Roman Saiss headed home to level the scores.

Wolves then took control of the game, albeit with a stroke of fortune. Roberto Sanchez could only parry Pedro Neto's vicious shot, and he pushed the ball into the path of Dan Burn, who stumbled over it and nudged it over the line.

Burn's nightmare half continued, as he recklessly brought Adama Traore crashing to the ground in the box, and Ruben Neves converted the resulting spot-kick to give the visitors some breathing space. Brighton halved their deficit only seconds into the second half, with Neal Maupay winning and scoring a penalty.

The Seagulls pushed for an equaliser, and they got their goal through a trademark Lewis Dunk header from a corner kick on 70 minutes.

Let's check out the player ratings from an exciting afternoon at the Amex stadium.

BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION

1. Goalkeeper & defenders

Roberto Sanchez (GK) - 6/10 - Had no chance in preventing Wolves' equaliser. Made a pretty impressive save from Neto, given the shot deflected on its journey to goal, but was let down by Burn's clumsy leg.

Adam Webster (CB) - 7/10 - Set Brighton in motion for the first goal, powering forward and picking out Trossard while on the run. A wonderful ball-carrier. Hit the bar with a thumping header.

Lewis Dunk (CB) - 7/10 - Defended like Lewis Drunk by somehow allowing Semedo to squeeze a cross in from the byline. Never stopped though, and got his reward with a powerful header to level the scores at 3-3.

Dan Burn (CB) - 3/10 - Cor dear. Gave away a corner with a misdirected header under no pressure, then scored a classic own goal from the resulting set piece, stumbling over the ball and turning it into the net. Then needlessly gave away a penalty with a mad sliding challenge on Traore. Just needed his shorts to fall down to round off his slapstick performance.

2. Wing-Backs & midfielders

Joel Veltman (RWB) - 7/10 - Offered plenty of offensive threat, as Brighton mounted a barrage of attacks down that right flank. Hugged the touchline and always tried to get involved. All the Wolves goals came down the other wing, too. Not his fault.

Ben White (CM) - 7/10 - Demonstrated why he'd been moved into midfield with some clever passing. Caught ball-watching for the equaliser, though. Whipped a couple of nice balls into the box as Brighton turned the screw.

Yves Bissouma (CM) - 5/10 - Broke up Wolves' blistering counter attacks, taking a yellow for a cynical foul in the first half. Not at his best and subbed at half-time.

Solly March (LWB) - 7/10 - Offered Burn little help in stopping Traore, but made headway of his own in the Wolves half, getting into some nice crossing positions and causing problems.

3. Forwards

Leandro Trossard (RW) - 8/10 - Twist, turn, twist, turn, dummy, and cross. A wonderful bit of individual brilliance to set up Connolly's opener. Got the assist for the third, too.

Aaron Connolly (ST) - 7/10 - Reacted quickest to Trossard's in-swinging cross to divert the ball past a stranded Patricio. Almost regained the lead with a brilliant overhead kick. Had to be subbed at half-time after picking up an injury. Unfortunate.

Neal Maupay (LW) - 6/10 - Offered precious little in the first half, but kicked off the second half by winning and then tucking away a penalty.

4. Substitutes

Andi Zeqiri (ST) - 7/10

Davy Propper (CM) - 7/10

Adam Lallana (CM) - 7/10

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

5. Goalkeeper & Defenders

Rui Patricio (GK) - 5/10 - Came flying out to meet Trossard's early cross, but got nowhere near it. Connolly did the rest. Not a great display.

Nelson Semedo (RB) - 7/10 - Danced on the byline and produced a perfect cross from an almost impossible position to bring Wolves back into the game.

Conor Coady (CB) - 7/10 - Such a leader at the back - often the only voice you could hear, religiously barking instructions to his teammates.

Romain Saiss (CB) - 6/10 - What a header! Such a pleasing goal, looping and arcing perfectly into the top corner. Made amends after losing Connolly on the first goal. Crumbled a bit in the second half.

Rayan Ait-Nouri (LB) - 6/10 - Couldn't live with Trossard's trickery and looked dazed as the winger whipped in his vital delivery.

6. Midfielders

Joao Moutinho (CM) - 6/10 - Gave away a penalty with a clumsy challenge on Maupay to allow Brighton back into the game.

Ruben Neves (CM) - 7/10 - Set Neto free to supply the second with a beautiful cross-field switch. A great ping. Coolly tucked home the penalty to put Wolves in full control.

Vitinha (AM) - 6/10 - The quietest of the forward players, operating behind Silva, but providing little. Unsurprisingly subbed first.

7. Forwards

Adama Traore (RW) - 8/10 - Stormed forward with his usual pace and intense power. Beat Burn all ends up, forcing the defender to concede a penalty. Vintage Traore.

Fabio Silva (ST) - 5/10 - Still finding his feet at this level. Won a couple of good flick ons in some gruelling aerial battles. Not his day, again.

Pedro Neto (LW) - 8/10 - Demonstrated his devastating pace and dribbling from the off, crashing a strike just wide following a mazy, exciting run. Inspired the second goal by firing a vicious shot on target, which Sanchez could only push into Burn's clown feet.

8. Substitutes

Max Kilman (CB) - 7/10

Owen Otasowie (CM) - N/A
