The Joe Edwards debrief - Wolves 2 Brighton 1

This performance was not without its flaws – large parts of the first half were torrid.

However, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side showed character to get all three points in the end and here, we go over the big talking points from the 2-1 triumph.

Traore reminder

Let’s start with the man who completely turned the game on its head.

Of course, Lewis Dunk’s dismissal saw the momentum swing in Wolves’ favour.

But breaking through a ultra-defensive 10-man unit is never straightforward – especially for a team who have struggled for goals all season.

Substitute Adama Traore made all the difference and was too hot to handle. The Seagulls put two, and sometimes three, men on him but to no avail.

The Spaniard, just as he did in the reverse fixture, had the beating of Dan Burn on every single occasion.

He came up with such a sharp finish to level things up and should have come away with an assist for Morgan Gibbs-White as well.

As far as impact substitutes go, they don’t get better than this.

Traore has had an indifferent campaign – we all know that – but when used in this manner, you’ll struggle to find anyone in the Premier League, or even the continent, more devastating.

Morgan’s moment

You could not help but be happy for Gibbs-White.

It had been a long time coming, but he finally opened his top-flight account in gold and black.

Dusting himself down after a terrible miss from Traore’s lay-off, he showed great composure and picked his spot perfectly.

His overall performance was positive as well. Gibbs-White has had to be patient since returning from his loan at Swansea and he firmly grasped this opportunity.

Similar chances have passed the academy product by previously, but you could sense the urgency in his actions – particularly in the second half.

While he got the winner, another few youngsters impressed too.

Fabio Silva coped very well as the lone striker against two imposing and experienced centre-halves in Dunk and Adam Webster.

Max Kilman grew into the game after being a bit shaky early on, and full-backs Ki-Jana Hoever and Rayan Ait-Nouri were productive on the front foot after the red card.

The young lads, like they did against Albion, certainly held their own in this game.

Obvious weakness

Now, on to the bad thing. Wolves are just so weak when it comes to defending set pieces.

Dunk easily beat Ruben Neves to the ball to put Brighton ahead, and he would have had a second if not for Rui Patricio’s fine reflexes.

Nuno did not have the tallest XI out there, but there has to be a better way of setting up.

After all, Dunk exposed the exact same problem back in January at the Amex.

Wolves have conceded 12 goals from set pieces this term – only Leeds having let in more, with 15. It is a glaring weakness.

For the final three games, they must work out a more effective way of dealing with corners and free-kicks.

And come the summer, they simply need more height in the team. Without Willy Boly, they have nobody who thrives in the air.

Fans returning

Finishing back on a positive, this was (hopefully) the last game without fans at Molineux. It may only be limited numbers for Manchester United a week on Sunday, but it will make an enormous difference.

Normality seems to be gradually returning. Nuno and his players, make no mistake, will be chomping at the bit.
