Brighton defeated Wolves as Brighton got the better of Nottingham Forest.
BRIGHTON ENDED A difficult week on a major high by emphatically reigniting their European push with a history-making 6-0 demolition of Wolves, while Brentford struck late to overcome Nottingham Forest.
The emphatic triumph was Albion’s greatest since returning to the top flight in 2017, bettering last season’s 4-0 thrashing of Manchester United. The surprising selection did not remain a talking point for long as the reshuffled Seagulls, who made five changes in total, made a blistering start and led inside six minutes.
His lacklustre side were culpable of giving the swashbuckling hosts a major helping hand as Brighton’s rapid beginning swiftly turned into an unassailable advantage. Woeful Wolves again contributed to their own downfall in the 66th minute as their punishment continued. But Toney equalised with a free-kick eight minutes from time, taking his Premier League tally for the season to 20.
The striker lofted the ball high into the box where Taiwo Awoniyi looped his header over David Raya and over the crossbar.
