    Adama Traore falls flat on his face in an excellent comedy fall while trying to dribble away.

    One minute to go in this half. Wolves are just getting their foot on the ball again after Brighton's best spell.

    How has this not gone in?!

    Shane Duffy towers over the Wolves defence at a corner and looks certain to head the ball in at the back post. I must admit, I'd shouted 'goal'. I thought it was going in but no. Duffy's header grazes the outside of the post and goes out for a goal kick.

    More better play from Brighton. They push and probe before winning a corner...

    Brighton's best openings have come when they've got down the side of Wolves' back three. Solly March moves into a good area down the right but Willy Boly comes across to clear.

    The Brighton fans are growing restless. Their team are being thoroughly outplayed by newly-promoted Wolves.

    Brighton 0-0 Wolves

    Chance! The best chance of the game by far.

    It's brilliant play between Matt Doherty and Raul Jimenez with a lovely one-two on the right edge of the box but Doherty guides his shot narrowly wide of the left-hand post from 10 yards.

    He knows that was a big opportunity and he buries his face in his hands.

    Brighton's best spell of possession yet ends with Solly March being found in plenty of space down the right wing but his first shot is blocked. He recovers and has another go but the second effort is even worse. It's dragged badly wide.

    Groans from the home fans when Beram Kayal bundles over Ruben Neves. There wasn't much in that. The game has hit a lull. We need a goal.

    Does Matt Doherty ever stop running?

    There's a decent effort.

    Adama Traore dances his way down the left without really getting up to full speed and then cuts back inside. He skips around one defender and then fires a low shot but Mat Ryan gets down to save comfortably.

    Brighton 0-0 Wolves

    The away end looks packed, with the Wolves supporters cheering sarcastically when Brighton's bearded right-back Bruno blasts a cross out for a goal kick. We're still waiting for the game's first real chance.

    Brighton 0-0 Wolves

    Wolves are dominant but Brighton do look dangerous on the counter-attack. This is the third time they've broken at speed but Alireza Jahanbakhsh just fails to stretch enough to divert a low cross on goal.

    Wolves' possession count is now up at 78%...

    Brighton 0-0 Wolves

    Wolves look every bit a top-10 Premier League team here. Matt Doherty is seeing plenty of the ball at right wing back. First he fires a shot/cross across the face of goal and then he's almost picked out by a great through-ball from Ruben Neves.

    Wolves are on top.

  16. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Wolves

    Should that be a pen?!

    Matt Doherty hammers a shot from the edge of the area on goal but it's blocked by José Izquierdo. Wolves are insistent that it was hand ball and - do you know what? - I think they're right. The ball hits the winger on the arm which was raised up by his head. He had very little time to react but that was not a natural position to have your arm in.

    A better worked set-piece this time from Wolves but Willy Boly's header is blocked.

    Brighton look like they want to play on the counter-attack today and again they sprint forward. The hosts win a free-kick in a dangerous position but Shane Duffy heads over the resulting set-piece.

    Wolves win another corner. They've had 65% possession so far.

    Wolves boss Nuno Espírito Santo has gloves on on the touchline. He'll be relatively content with his side's play. They're back to dictating proceedings.

    The opening four minutes were all Wolves but suddenly Brighton spring into life with a quick break. It's Beram Kayal who skips through a couple of tackles and breaks into the final third but when the ball is played out to Glenn Murray on the left flank the move breaks down.

    Encouraging for the hosts.
