Ghana defender Tariq Lamptey came off the bench to register an assist in Brighton and Hove Albion's draw with Wolverhampton in the English Premier League on Saturday.

Wolves staged a dramatic late fightback from 2-0 down to rescue a point and lift themselves off the bottom of the Premier League in a thrilling game at Brighton.

The home side looked to be coasting to three points and a place in the top four after goals by in-form Danny Welbeck and substitute Evan Ferguson put them firmly in control.

Lamptey, who was introduced as a replacement for Georginio Rutter in the 80th minute, needed just five minutes to teed up Ferguson to double Brighton's lead.

That left Gary O'Neil's Wolves staring at a sixth successive league defeat.

But Rayan Ait-Nouri reduced the deficit in the 88th minute before Matheus Cunha capped an impressive performance with a deflected shot that went in off the underside of the bar in the 93rd minute.

The point was enough to lift Wolves off the bottom of the table after a horrible run of results left O'Neil under serious pressure.

Lamptey made the cameo appearance for Brighton to play his first Premier League match this season since recovery from the injury he picked up during the pre-season.
