A video has been posted showing Brighton fans in the away end taunt the scoreline to angry Wolves supporters in the boxes behind them.
The Seagulls stormed to a 4-1 Premier League victory at Wolves with a Solly March double, as well as goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Pervis Estupinan giving the visitors a day to remember.
Hee-Chan Hwang had headed in a consolation for the hosts, before Matheus Nunes saw red late on, a dismal performance following a good performance in the league opener against Man Utd earlier in the week.
This Wolves fan wasn’t happy after the game against Brighton yesterday…

But as can be seen in the videos above, the result on Saturday only added to the anger for Wolves fans, especially for those watching the game play out in the boxes.
But these at situated in the middle of a two tier stand, Wolves at the top and Brighton on the bottom. After the fourth goal went in for the travelling side, Brighton fans laughed at those in the boxes.
As a Wolves supporter is seen shouting and trying to keep his cool, the away end started gesturing and goading. Those in the box next to the man try to calm him down in an attempt to diffuse the siaution.

Brighton winger Solly March said post-match, as per BBC Sport: “If you are in the right positions, you are going to get chances. 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.”
Wolves defender Max Kilman to PLP: “I think we started really well; they are a top side. We didn’t take our chances, they did. The margins in football are really fine and we saw that today.
“We are creating chances, but we need to find the net; we are back on Monday in training getting ready for Everton.
[Working with Gary O’Neil] has been really good. It has only been eight days so there is a long way to go but I’m confident we will come out on the right side.
“Every manager is different but we need to adjust to the way he wants to play.”
Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “I’m really pleased with the result and the performance. We played very well. We could play better, improve in our mentality, because we have a big target. To reach them you have tio play the same way for 90 minutes. We will reach that for sure.
“[Kaoru] Mitoma is a top player. [Solly] Match scored two goals, [Julio] Enciso was the best player on the pitch. I’m reallty lucky; I have an incredible squad, the right mix between young and old plasyers. We are happy but we know our potential is bigger.
“We have two players for every position. They will play for sure and be important for the team; they have a lot of chances.
“We are a very important team, with many big players. My work is to push them more and get better.”
Wolves manager Gary O’Neil to BBC Match of the Day: “I think we are very early in the process; we knew there would be a lot of things to fix. There wouldn’t have been a change made if things were going well. We created chances, but Brighton are clinical. That is now two games where we haven’t converted chances. Shot wise and xG wise, there’s nothing in the game. We need to improve in that, but in terms of commitment, they kept going.
“If you miss chances, things can go against you. We need to keep creating opportunities. We have to find away; we take risks and when you get reward from that in as game you need to score. We didn’t and they did. They benefited and were clinical.
On Mateus Nunes’ red card: “Mateus knowd my thoughts; he’s a great kid, I deal with that stuff privately. He was excellent today but we need him available.”
