Danny Welbeck's sixth goal of the season and Evan Ferguson’s first strike for almost a year could not see Brighton to third consecutive victory in the Premier League.
Welbeck, 33, was a doubt before the match with a back injury sustained after he scored the winner at Newcastle last week.
But he looked as sharp as ever as he latched on to Georginio Rutter's throughball on 43 minutes and expertly finished from an angle. Substitute Ferguson made it 2-0 as he swept home an effort after fine work from fellow sub Tariq Lamptey. Wolves pulled a late one back through Aït-Nouri and it got worse for the Seagulls as Matheus Cunha fired home the leveller in added time after Mats Wieffer lost possession.
It’s two dropped points for Fabian Hurzeler's team who dominated much of the game against a Wolves team still seeking their first win of the season.
The point keeps the Seagulls fifth in the Premier League standings with 16 points from nine matches.
Here's how the Brighton players rated…

2. Bart Verbruggen - 7
Very unfortunate own goal. Made a smart save to prevent hosts from going 2-0 up. Did his other jobs well when called upon. Photo: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images
3. Mats Wieffer – 5
He looked confident early on with a long-range strike and a backheel attempt. In defence, he couldn’t contain Wolves’ frontmen. Booked for barging over Hwang Hee-Chan. Taken off after 70 minutes. Off the pace. Photo: Wolverhampton Wanderers FC/Wolves via Getty Images
4. Lewis Dunk (c) – 6
Given a deserved yellow card for swiping Munetsi, who had already skipped on past. Fired a free-kick over the bar when Albion were behind – not sure why he is still taking them. Some vital defending at key moments against the dangerous Strand Larsen. Photo: Wolverhampton Wanderers FC/Wolves via Getty Images
