March scores two as Brighton win at Wolves

A stunning solo goal from Kaoru Mitoma and a second-half double from Solly March help Brighton coast to victory over Wolves at Molineux. News Front Image Image

Solly March scored his second and third goals of the new Premier League season at MolineuxBrighton boss Roberto De Zerbi said he is "lucky" to manage the club after his side delivered another devastating attacking display to cruise past Wolves and make it two wins from two at the start of the Premier League season.A stunning solo goal from Kaoru Mitoma broke the deadlock at Molineux, the Japan international collecting Pervis Estupinan's pass near the halfway line before sidestepping several half-hearted challenges and beating the onrushing Jose Sa.Wolves had chances to equalise but were made to pay for their profligacy in brutal fashion as the Seagulls scored three times in nine second-half minutes, Estupinan doubling the visitors' lead with a low finish 41 seconds after the restart.Two fine close-range finishes from the superb Solly March - in front of watching England manager Gareth Southgate - gave Brighton a 4-0 lead before second-half substitute Hwang Hee-chan pulled one back for Wolves with a well-placed header."I'm really pleased with the result and the performance," De Zerbi told BBC Match of the Day. "Mitoma is a top player, March scored two goals, [Julio] Enciso was the best player on the pitch. I'm really lucky."I have an incredible squad [with] the right mix between young and old players. We're happy, but we know our potential is bigger."My work is to push them more and get better."Matheus Nunes was shown a late red card for Gary O'Neil's side on a sobering afternoon for the hosts.Reaction to Wolves v Brighton and the rest of Saturday's Premier League actionHow did you rate Wolves' performance? Have your say hereWhat did you make of Brighton's display? Send us your views hereMitoma and March star in magnificent winBefore the game, De Zerbi said he felt his side were reaching "a higher level" despite the high-profile departures of Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo this summer.It is hard to find fault with the Italian's assessment after the Seagulls scored four goals for the second consecutive game - including three in a rampant start to the second period.The lively Mitoma was a threat throughout, enjoying more touches inside the opposition box than any other player on the pitch and showing magnificent composure to tee up Estupinan for the Seagulls' second of the game.Teenager Enciso set up both goals for March, who also recovered possession more often than any of his team-mates in a tireless all-round display.The 29-year-old could have had a hat-trick after cutting inside and hitting a low effort at goal from the edge of the box, but it was straight at Sa."If you are in the right positions, you are going to get chances," said March. "Both my goals came from busting a gut, so if I keep doing that I'll get more goals."We've got two or three players in every position; maybe we didn't have that last year and that can help us kick on this year. If we keep our foot on the pedal and believing, we'll hopefully have a great season again."There may be room for improvement defensively but on this evidence, Brighton look more than capable of matching - or even surpassing - last season's sixth-place finish.Woeful Wolves second bestWolves felt extremely hard done by after leaving Manchester United empty-handed on Monday evening, but despite creating enough opportunities to cancel out Mitoma's first-half strike they can have few complaints at the manner of Saturday's defeat.Fabio Silva, making his first start for the club since April 2022, had an early effort disallowed for offside before finding himself one-on-one with Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele not long afterwards, but the 21-year-old's finish lacked conviction.Matheus Cunha and Pedro Neto both failed to hit the target from promising positions later in the half, before Rayan Ait-Nouri blazed over the bar after a darting run into the box.Those opportunities may have given Wolves supporters reason for optimism at the interval, but O'Neil's team were torn apart by Brighton early in the second half."We created chances, but Brighton are clinical," O'Neil said to BBC Match of the Day. "That is now two games where we haven't converted chances. Shot-wise and xG-wise, there was nothing in the game. We need to improve in that, but in terms of commitment [Brighton] kept going."If you miss chances, things can go against you. They benefited and were clinical."Nunes' needless sending off in stoppage time - for a petulant shove on Estupinan - capped a miserable day for Wolves, who have lost their opening two games and left the field to a chorus of boos.Wolves were bottom of the Premier League in November last year before battling to safety under Julen Lopetegui, and this could be another long season for the Black Country club unless they raise their game considerably at both ends of the pitch.Player of the matchMitomaKaoru Mitomawith an average of 8.37Wolverhampton WanderersBrighton & Hove AlbionWolverhampton WanderersSquad number11Player nameHwang Hee-chanSquad number12Player nameMatheus CunhaSquad number24Player nameTotiSquad number17Player nameBuenoSquad number29Player nameFábio SilvaSquad number15Player nameDawsonSquad number1Player nameJosé SáSquad number22Player nameNélson SemedoSquad number5Player nameLeminaSquad number7Player namePedro NetoSquad number3Player nameAït-NouriSquad number21Player nameSarabiaSquad number23Player nameKilmanSquad number27Player nameMatheus NunesSquad number8Player nameJoão GomesBrighton & Hove AlbionSquad number22Player nameMitomaSquad number7Player nameMarchSquad number30Player nameEstupiñánSquad number10Player nameEncisoSquad number5Player nameDunkSquad number13Player nameGroßSquad number4Player nameWebsterSquad number23Player nameSteeleSquad number9Player nameJoão PedroSquad number28Player nameFergusonSquad number6Player nameMilnerSquad number18Player nameWelbeckSquad number11Player nameGilmourSquad number34Player nameVeltmanSquad number14Player nameLallanaSquad number8Player nameDahoudLine-upsMatch StatsLive TextLine-upsWolvesFormation 4-4-1-11Sá22Nélson Semedo15DawsonBooked at 17minsSubstituted forGomesat 71'minutes23KilmanBooked at 88mins3Aït-NouriSubstituted forBuenoat 86'minutes7Neto8João GomesSubstituted forSarabiaat 56'minutes5Lemina27NunesBooked at 90mins12Matheus Cunha29Fábio SilvaSubstituted forHwang Hee-chanat 55'minutesBooked at 63minsSubstitutes2Doherty6Traoré11Hwang Hee-chan17Bueno18Kalajdzic21Sarabia24Gomes25Bentley32HodgeBrightonFormation 4-2-3-123Steele6MilnerBooked at 18minsSubstituted forVeltmanat 57'minutes4WebsterBooked at 90mins5Dunk30EstupiñánBooked at 60mins13GroßBooked at 8minsSubstituted forDahoudat 81'minutes11Gilmour7March10EncisoBooked at 19minsSubstituted forFergusonat 67'minutes22MitomaSubstituted forLallanaat 81'minutes18WelbeckSubstituted forJoão Pedroat 57'minutesBooked at 64minsSubstitutes1Verbruggen3dos Santos de Paulo8Dahoud9João Pedro14Lallana24Adingra28Ferguson29van Hecke34VeltmanReferee:Andy MadleyAttendance:31,317Match StatsLive TextMatch ends, Wolverhampton Wanderers 1, Brighton and Hove Albion 4.Second Half ends, Wolverhampton Wanderers 1, Brighton and Hove Albion 4.Hand ball by Evan Ferguson (Brighton and Hove Albion).Offside, Brighton and Hove Albion.
