Premier League relegation odds have shifted after Wolves suffer a 5-0 thrashing to Brighton and Nottingham Forest lose to Brentford in a historic Premier League fixture.
Brighton vs Wolves
- Brighton started superbly and were rewarded, as they went 2-0 up in the opening 15 minutes – thanks to goals from Deniz Undav and Pascal Gross.
- Gross extended the Seagulls’ lead with a superb volley into the top right corner.
- A powerful header from Danny Welbeck put the hosts 4-0 up going into the break, as Wolves failed to create anything of note.
- The veteran Premier League striker made it 5-0 moments after the restart, with his low effort flying into the back of the net.
- Undav put the final nail in the coffin, as his audacious chip made it 6-0 and reignited Wolves’ relegation worries.

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest
- The Bees started the game well and Bryan Mbeumo came close to giving his side the lead but his effort was saved by Keylor Navas.
- Against the run of play, Forest took the lead through Danilo. The Brazilian has now scored two goals in his last two Premier League fixtures.
- After the break Brentford continued their dominance, with Ivan Toney proving a constant threat throughout the game.
- Brentford levelled things through the ever-dangerous Toney, as his free-kick flew into the back of the Nottingham Forest net.
- Forest’s bad luck continued, as Josh Da Silva’s effort flew by Navas and gave the hosts all three points.

Can Wolves & Nottingham Forest Avoid The Drop?
Nottingham Forest have been in and around the relegation places for the majority of the season, with today’s result keeping them below Leeds in 17th.
On the other hand, Wolves, who have escaped relegation talks over recent weeks, have sparked worries with today’s thrashing to Brighton. Julen Lopetgeui’s side are still six points clear of the bottom three places, but supporters will be alarmed by today’s result.
Steve Cooper’s side will take part in a huge relegation clash in their next league enounter, as they take on bottom-placed Southampton. The Saints play Newcastle tomorrow afternoon and could be demoted to the Championship in the coming weeks.
Wolves will be confident over their status as a Premier League side, with wins over Liverpool and Spurs showing their capability. However, in their next league fixture, they take on Aston Villa in an eagerly-awaited Midlands derby, as the Villains look to continue their tremendous unbeaten run.
