When Brighton substitute Evan Ferguson scored to earn his side a 2-0 lead in the 85th minute on Saturday, Wolves boss Gary O’Neil told himself there would be “tough questions” coming after the game.<\/b><\/p>\n

Wolves were staring at a sixth successive league defeat and set for another week propping up the Premier League table.<\/p>\n

Then, in a finish few saw coming at the Amex, Wolves somehow managed to snatch a point from the jaws of defeat.<\/p>\n

Rayan Ait-Nouri’s 88th-minute finish looked nothing more than a consolation, especially when Brighton were well placed to make it 3-1 in a four-on-one situation.<\/p>\n

But a misplaced pass saw Tommy Doyle sprint down the other end and provide the pass for Matheus Cunha to make it 2-2 in the third minute of stoppage time and send the travelling Wolves fans wild with delight.<\/p>\n

It was a crazy finish to a match that a few minutes earlier had looked like bringing a routine home win.<\/p>\n

“At 2-0 down at 85 minutes, I’m thinking, ‘some tough questions coming again here’,” said O’Neil afterwards.<\/p>\n

Now the big question is this: will the comeback prove a turning point for Wolves’ season?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What does that point do for Wolves?<\/p>\n

For starters they are off the bottom of the table having leapfrogged Southampton.<\/p>\n

But O’Neil remains a manager under pressure.<\/p>\n

He has overseen just one win in the last 19 Premier League games, which on the face of it is sackable form.<\/p>\n

O’Neil took charge in August 2023 and led Wolves to eye-catching wins over Manchester City as well as a Premier League double over Tottenham on their way to a 14th-placed finish in his first season in charge.<\/p>\n

The former Bournemouth boss believes his side can “definitely” avoid relegation this time around if they show the fight they have displayed in the last two games.<\/p>\n

Wolves produced a gritty performance against defending champions Manchester City last week before losing to a late goal, before Saturday’s comeback in Sussex against showed spirit in the ranks.<\/p>\n

“My main thing around today is how deep they’ve had to dig to achieve something,” O’Neil said of his players.<\/p>\n

“Not just because we’re 2-0 down, but we’re 2-0 down and we’ve not won a game yet and they’ve still managed to find a way.<\/p>\n

“We’ll definitely be fine this season and that only reaffirms my thoughts.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wolves have two points from a possible 27 but have played all the top seven teams in the table.<\/p>\n

They now have a run of fixtures where they will be looking to build momentum and climb out of the bottom three.<\/p>\n

Fellow strugglers Crystal Palace visit Molineux next Saturday (17:30 GMT) before Wolves host bottom club Southampton the following week.<\/p>\n

O’Neil will be targeting back-to-back wins in those two games, although he claimed after the Brighton draw that they were not “must-win” games.<\/p>\n

“I know there’ll be a lot made of the next games,” added the Wolves boss.<\/p>\n

“They’re not ‘must-wins’. Crystal Palace are good, they spent \u00a330m on a striker [Eddie Nketiah] from Arsenal; Eze’s pretty good. We need to just be ready in every game.<\/p>\n

“We treated today as a game we wanted to win. Palace will be the same. Southampton will be the same. Southampton will be tough when they come – they keep the ball forever, have a real set way of playing. <\/p>\n

“So, there will be challenges in every game because that’s the level of the Premier League. But we just keep going. The lads will never stop.<\/p>\n

“Coming back late gives everyone a lift. It’s only what we deserved.<\/p>\n

“But once you score, this group can be tough to stop when they get some positive momentum and energy.<\/p>\n

“It ended up a little bit crazy at the end but I’m delighted for the boys. To still be able to keep fighting speaks a lot.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
