Wolves 0-2 Brighton: Danny Welbeck scores from Spot As Brighton Boost European Qualification Hopes with assured victory over Wolves

A former Manchester United Striker showed a future how it was done.

Although so much of the conversation in Molineux nowadays surrounded Matheus Cunha and the merits or doubts from an approaching summer movement to Old Trafford, it was Danny WelbeckA man who once enters that star path, who stolen the show.

That it was Cunha who gave the spot kick away, an error for which he was lucky not to be shown a red card, was a suitable irony for everything and a reminder that the aging stars can often play the best melodies under the glow of the fading light.

Welbeck’s penalty was his 10th Premier League Purpose of the season, the first time in the career of the 34-year-old he has reached double digits in a competition campaign.

He thought he had given Brighton the lead earlier in the first half even when he came in Tariq LampteyThe cross only for a painfully long VAR control to confirm that Yankuba Minth had disturbed the game from a marginal offside position.

It was also the smart run of Welbeck five minutes after the time that the space opened for Simon Adingra to play in colleague substitute Brajan Gruda to double the lead of Brighton and to complete the victory.

For Cunha this was probably the penultimate time he gets here in a wolves shirt. Wolves accept that the Brazilian will leave this summer as soon as someone is expected to be Manchester United matches his release clause. What an enigma they will miss. Or will they?

Technology and artistry with one breath, petulance and frustration with the other. We saw the reasons why Manchester United wanted to buy him and also those who show why many Wolves fans are not too busy to see him go.

Cunha was the core of the good play of many of the hosts. Goncalo Guedes found his early free kick at the Nearby Paal, who put the ball just over the bar with a neat flick from the outside of his boot. He forced a fine low salvation from Bart Verbruggen with a shot from the edge of the box in the second half. With a role of his boot over the ball, he sent a Wolves defender in the wrong direction and fed a teammate to win a corner.

And yet for all the good Cunha it was the attack, it was his lust that brightton gave the lead when he had picked his pock animal by Matten Wieffer on the edge of his own box and then awkward the seagulls full-back brought down for a penalty.

The Brighton bank jumped in anger about seeing referee Michael Oliver Show Cunha a yellow card instead of something stronger. Officials believed that Cunha made an attempt to play the ball, which was a rather generous interpretation of events.

It is to Cunha. He quickly went down after he was looking for a free kick, luckily that he was not booked again, and then sent a 40 -meter shot that fly halfway the stands. Misplaced steps were met with flagging arms or hands in his head.

When he sent a speculative effort in the second half that flew high and wide, the Wolves fans behind the goal began to sing the name of gestured striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.

The clock was not even checked beyond the hour when the board of the fourth civil servant went up and the Cunha’s song next to the Larsen beach flashed.

Within a few moments of his arrival, Strand Larsen almost had wolves level when Rayan Ait-Nouri burst to the left, the ball squared and the new man was only denied a tick by the vast arm of the diving counter.

However, it was left behind that Welbeck had one last word. His smart run made a Wolves defender follow and the space was left for Gruda to slip inside and score his first Premier League goal while the replacement fell on his knees in tears.
