ROCKED BOTTOM

Wolves take another late hit to stay rooted to last spot

- BY SUNNY BADWAL

A WEEKEND earlier at Tottenham they were denied their first Premier League victory of the campaign in stoppage time - and yesterday it was four minutes from the end.

The late show is not going Wolves’ way this season.

Jan Paul van Hecke’s 86th-minute header rescued a point for Brighton and Wolves remain rooted to the bottom of the table as once again Vitor Pereiras side were unable to cling on to victory.

Pereira was given a red card in the first half after showing his fury on the touchline — but his side hit the front through Bart Verbruggen’s own goal.

Sam Johnstone denied the Seagulls five times throughout the encounter as it looked like Wolves would win for the first time in 11 Premier League matches.

However, Van Hecke earned the Seagulls’ seventh point this season from a losing position as both sides still wait for a first clean sheet of the campaign.
