Wolves 1-0 Brighton – FA Cup – February 28, 2024
Wolves edged past Brighton at Molineux to book their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals thanks to an early strike from Mario Lemina.
The hosts took the lead inside the opening minutes after Jason Steele failed to deal with a cross into the box. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde drove down the left before sending a dangerous delivery into the six-yard area, with Steele spilling the ball straight into the path of Lemina, who fired home from close range.
Brighton responded well after the setback and created opportunities of their own. Facundo Buonanotte came closest in the first half, finding himself unmarked in the box but unable to direct his header on target.
The Seagulls pushed heavily for an equaliser late on, even sending Steele forward for set-pieces in stoppage time, but Wolves held firm to secure progression.

Wolves responded just before the interval when Gonzalo Guedes turned Matt Doherty’s cross beyond Jason Steele to reduce the deficit.
The game looked settled in the 85th minute when Ferdi Kadioglu scored his first Brighton goal following his summer move from Fenerbahce, restoring the Seagulls’ two-goal cushion.
Tommy Doyle’s late strike from outside the box ensured a nervy finish, but Brighton held on to progress into the fourth round.

However, Wolves mounted a late comeback.
Rayan Ait-Nouri pulled one back moments later to spark life into the contest, before Matheus Cunha struck deep into stoppage time to complete the turnaround and snatch a point for the visitors.
What had looked like a comfortable Brighton victory quickly turned into frustration as Wolves punished late defensive lapses and capitalised on a poor pass from Mats Wieffer during a counter-attack.
