Brighton surged to a 3-0 home victory over relegated Wolves, with Jack Hinshelwood and Lewis Dunk scoring in the first five minutes. The win lifts the Seagulls to seventh, two points behind sixth‑placed Bournemouth, keeping a Champions League spot within reach.

Hinshelwood’s header, Brighton’s earliest Premier League goal, eclipsed Alexis Mac Allister’s record and set the tone. De Cuyper provided both assists, marking his first start since February and proving a vital spark behind the attack.

A second‑half hamstring injury to Kaoru Mitoma cut the celebration short, but Yankuba Minteh’s late strike sealed the result and pushed Brighton solidly into the upper half of the table.

With the Seagulls now in contention for a European berth, fans will watch how the rest of the season unfolds, knowing that a sixth‑place finish could secure Champions League football.
