Wolves fans vent anger after watching Brighton ‘cruise to the easiest of wins’, a 3-0 victory on Saturday afternoon.
It only took 35 seconds for Jack Hinshelwood to score Brighton’s fastest ever Premier League goal, then Lewis Dunk’s header made it 2-0 to the hosts inside five minutes.
Yankuba Minteh made it 3-0 on 86 minutes, and Yerson Mosquera saw his strike come back off the woodwork for Wolves.
The result, ahead of the rest of the weekend’s action, sees Brighton up to 7th place in boost to European hopes, 53 points from 36 games played, Wolves remain bottom with 18 points.

Wolves boss Rob Edwards said at his post-match press conference, as per Sky Sports:
“It’s incredibly frustrating, it looked like we were still in our nice hotel for the first five minutes.
“The start of the game was atrocious. We find ourselves 1-0 down before we’ve really had a kick and then the defending for the corner was horrible. A couple of people not doing their jobs.
“Two-nil down after five minutes against a team that’s already better than you, you’ve got slim to no chance.”
On Gomes marking Dunk for the second goal: “It wasn’t planned. It was a decision that they just decided to make at that moment.
“I can’t (account for it) but we’ve had a lot of it and that’s why we are where we are – crazy decision.
“There was a lack of focus there from the beginning, people not valuing doing their job.”
Asked if he has given up on some members of his squad: “Yeah, definitely. Some of them have got to go, we’re bottom of the league. It’s been embarrassing. They’ve got to go.
“We’ve got two more games, so suck it up, keep our head down, take whatever we’re gonna have to take for the next couple of weeks and then we can really get to work. We know there’s going to be a lot of change.”
📹 “Some of them have got to go. They’ve not been good enough.”

Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler said to BBC Final Score: “Good start, really good start, two goals definitely helped our game and then we created a few more chances. We defended really well.
“Second half we got a bit sloppy, not that intense or high quality in our actions. We defended well, we tried, we kept going, I think it was a deserved win.”
On upcoming games and European hopes: “We have to go all in now and approach it as unchanged. We will keep going and focus on the things we can control and our performance and then we swill see what happens.”
Brighton’s Lewis Dunk said to the BBC Match of the Day: “Started the game top, 2-0, started excellently. Took the foot of the gas the second part of the first half, got sloppy. And then second half they had to come out stronger and it was a bit end-to-end, but we scored the three and kept a clean sheet – it was massive.”
On being back and scoring: “I’ve been dying for one, I’ve had a lot of chances this and last season, but I should’ve got more today. It’s nice to get on the scoresheet. I want to score goals I’m good at scoring goals, it’s been frustrating but now I have one I can hopefully get another next week.”
On his celebration: “Our kit man, Buzz his son had a brain tumour, had surgery two week ago, recovering well. So we wanted to send him some love. He’s the nicest and happiest kid. I always get videos of him chatting about the Seagulls and we wanted to give some love to him.”
On Jack Hinshelwood: “He’s an incredible footballer, he’s one of the most intelligent I’ve seen on the football pitch. He knows where to be. That goal was unbelievable, the header was outstanding. I’m buzzing for him. Down to earth, works his socks off. It’s nice to see.”
On return to Europe: “I think if you look at that period, it was frustrating. [James] Milner was a massive impact. If you look at the team that gaffer put out, we needed men to turn it around and Milner was a huge impact in that to understand what the group needed. He was fundamental.
“The whole group stuck together and now we’re looking at Europe again. It’s a mental season, one minute we’re looking at relegation and now we’re talking about Europe, it’s great fun football isn’t it?”
Wolves fans vent anger after watching Brighton cruise to the easiest of wins…
@ben29415138: You lot are a fcuking disgrace ! The worst team I have ever seen in a wolves shirt and also the most disliked…. I think each one of you is a coward and you should be ashamed to take your wages home…. Now all of ya can fcuk off and take that clown Edwards with ya!
@Topoftheshop40: Genuinely none of them care do they? Hwang showed the most effort today which really shows how pathetic it is
@MrPauloGoodman: Someone asked me in the week if I thought we’d come straight back up. I said I was more worried about the double dip. With Edwards at the helm I think we’ll be a League one club in a year. Cheers Rob, we appreciate the sentimental taking of the job, but it’s time to go #wwfc
@irishwolf99:
April/May 2026:
Points: 1/15
xG created: 4.04
xG conceded: 8.21
Actual GD: (11) [12-1]
Performances since Brentford been RANCID. These players are a fucking disgrace, and I’m rapidly running out of patience with Rob. The Old Gold jersey shouldn’t shrink to fit lesser men #WWFC
@wwfcmatt09: Saw this posted from TalkSport. What a damning stat: Wolves are the second team ever to lose to ALL other 19 Premier League clubs in a single season. ❌ #wwfc #wolves
@jon306: 3 wins in 40 league games overall. 3 wins in 25 league games for Edwards. 1 goal in the last 5 games. It’s an utter shambles from top to bottom and as much as I wanted Edwards to succeed, it’s time to go. No, it’s not entirely his fault but he’s done nothing to change it. #wwfc
@kevtheman10: It’s another loss and no doubt Brighton have deserved their 3-0 win. A total pisstake and shambles from Wolves yet again. Ffs.🤦♂️🐺 #WWFC #BHAWOL
@Cookmtt1976: All the focus will be on Edwards but the players need to look at themselves, I can accept they are not good enough but before the break we had a spirit and fight about us but that has gone since they came back and they are just not putting the hard yards in and scrapping. #wwfc
