Goals from Danny Welbeck and Brajan Gruda secured what was only the visitors' second win in nine matches across all competitions.

Welbeck, who was denied an opener by the offside flag earlier on, slotted home his 10th Premier League goal of the season from the penalty spot in the 28th minute, after Matheus Cunha lost possession and felled Mats Wieffer in the box.

Cunha's long-range attempt was pushed away by Bart Verbruggen as Wolves sought a response after the break, with Vitor Pereira making a raft of substitutions as it chased the game.

However, Brighton put the contest to bed five minutes from time, with substitute Gruda's neat finish sealing all three points and condemning the hosts to back-to-back defeats.
