That's all from Molineux today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

Brighton will hope to belatedly convert their prowess on the road into better fortunes at home when they take on Manchester United next week, while Wolves must play Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool in three of their final four fixtures - starting with the former at Stamford Bridge next Saturday.

In the end, a lacklustre showing developed into a humbling home defeat for Wolves, who were outplayed and out-thought by Brighton for most of the match, in which the hosts barely threatened their visitors' goal. The Seagulls could even afford to miss a first-half penalty as they cruised to another away win - a fourth from their last five attempts. That merited three points sees them close within five of their beaten opponents and into the Premier League's top half.

OFF THE POST! Almost, but not quite! Wolves strike the bottom of the post through Neto's low drive from the left side of the area. Sanchez was stranded, but the ball bounces away to safety, and Wolves' drought goes on.

Involved in the build-up, Cucurella has the final touch on a quick Brighton move; dragging his low shot wide of the right post. He has stood out today for his endeavour and enthusiasm, but his shooting did not match there.
