Wolverhampton Wanderers stretched their unbeaten Premier League run to 11 games after they led and then came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion in a pulsating encounter on Sunday.
Diogo Jota fired Wolves ahead and then hauled them level in a frantic first half after Neal Maupay and Davy Propper had cancelled out the Portuguese forward’s opener.
The result left Wolves sixth in the standings on 24 points from 16 games, behind fifth-placed Manchester United on goal difference and one point ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in seventh.
Brighton stayed 12th on 19 points in a congested bottom half with only four points separating 11th-placed Arsenal and 18th-placed Southampton.
Wolves captain Conor Coady was pleased with the outcome, although he rued defensive lapses which allowed Brighton to turn the tide.
“It is a good point against a good team who played well from the back,” he told the BBC.
“We were in control so it was a bit disappointing to concede two goals. We want to take the lead and stay in the lead, it is also up to us to defend better.”
