WOLVERHAMPTON, England (Reuters) -Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Vitor Pereira was sent off as his side remained the only club in England's top four divisions without a league win after a 1-1 home draw with Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Sunday.
Pereira was shown a red card after 20 minutes when he lost his temper after his team were not awarded a free kick -- the Premier League's Match Centre confirming it was for "irresponsible behaviour in the technical area".
Bizarrely, the Portuguese was still walking down the tunnel when his side took the lead a minute later when Marshall Munetsi's thundering drive hit the crossbar and rebounded in off the unfortunate Bart Verbruggen in the Brighton goal.
Jhon Arias wasted the chance to double Wolves' lead when he blazed an effort over the crossbar and the hosts were made to pay as Jan Paul van Hecke's 86th-minute header earned Brighton a gritty point.
Wolves stay bottom of the standings with two points. Brighton are in 12th place with nine points.
