Brighton vs Wolves: Sussex World review

Sussex World reporter Sam Morton reflects on the action at the Amex after Brighton are held to a 0-0 draw by Wolves

Transcript

00:00 Hello, I'm Sam Morton outside the Amex Stadium where Brighton have just drawn 0-0 with Wolves.

00:06 It was a cagey game really, but either side could have won. I think Brighton will be the

00:10 more frustrated out of the two sides to come away with just a point. I think they had the

00:16 lion's share of possession, 71% of possession. They couldn't quite turn that into clear-cut

00:21 chances and they had one chance in the first half with Wakanda Wainanate, a header that

00:26 perhaps he should have taken with his foot. It was cleared off the line. In the second

00:32 half, Jack Hinchlewood had a cross nearly turned into Matt Kilman's own net. It just

00:38 hit the post. So really, there were two main chances for Brighton. Wolves also were a real

00:44 threat. Pedro Neto was really lively on the counter, returning from injury. He could have

00:51 forced a winner. Jason Stewart made a couple of good saves. There was one hairy moment

00:57 with the keeper where he came out to claim the ball ahead of Mateus Kuna, who was one-on-one.

01:02 The Brazilian just managed to get there first, but still did well to narrow the angle. Kuna

01:07 made a bit of a mess of it from a tight angle and couldn't find the finish. So, a frustrating

01:13 night for Brighton. They will come away thinking they should have won with the possession they

01:18 had. They just couldn't find that killer pass. With all the possession they had, they just

01:22 couldn't find that pass. It's frustrating in that sense. Di Serbi admitted that, but

01:28 I think he'll be pleased. It's another clean sheet. Two clean sheets in a row to start

01:32 2024. You wait all year, all 2023 for one clean sheet and then two come already this

01:39 year. So that's definitely a positive. Hopefully, the goals will return soon. We've got Sheffield

01:46 United away in the FA Cup and then Luton away in the Premier League. Brighton will be looking

01:50 to bounce back quickly. It was great to see Tarek Lamptey back from injury. There's more

01:55 players reserved from injury. I'm sure the goals will return. Thank you for watching.
