MAN OF THE MATCH?

Trossard scores again as Brighton close gap to Wolves

Leandro Trossard’s third goal in four matches helped Brighton & Hove Albion move to within a place of Wolverhampton Wanderers after a 3-0 win at Molineux.

Brighton controlled the first half but were frustrated when Alexis Mac Allister’s penalty came back off a post on 33 minutes.

Brighton received a second spot-kick on 42 minutes after Danny Welbeck had been fouled by Willy Boly. Mac Allister converted on this occasion, firing just inside the same post.

Wolves introduced Raul Jimenez and Pedro Neto for the second half and briefly improved as Boly headed a good chance over.

Trossard fired past Jose Sa on 70 minutes to make it 2-0 and Yves Bissouma's low shot wrapped up Brighton's victory with four minutes remaining.

Brighton move up to ninth with 44 points, five behind Wolves.
