Richie Towell makes it two goals in two games as he bags winner for Brighton U23s

The Dubliner was on target against Wolves tonight.

RICHIE TOWELL HAS given Brighton and Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton a timely reminder of his ability by playing a starring role in a 2-1 victory for the Seagullsโ€™ U23s against Wolves.

Towell has had a difficult time of it since leaving Dundalk for the English Championship last year as he has struggled for form and fitness.

The Dubliner has been linked with a loan move away from the club once the transfer window re-opens in January as his chances of breaking into Hughtonโ€™s senior side in the immediate future, who are second in the league table, are believed to be slim.

Towell has struggled with a knee injury this season but now seems to be putting his fitness issues behind him and has scored in successive games for the U23 side.

Brighton fell behind to Wolves after just 14 minutes tonight but equalised just before the hour mark through Ben Hall.

Towell then clinched victory for the Seagulls on 77 minutes with an excellent finish from inside the box.

Towellโ€™s goals have now won two successive games for the U23s after he also recently scored the winner in an EFL Trophy clash against Leyton Orient.

    Was the rioting sponsored by Evian or something? Havenโ€™t seen that many bottles of water on a football pitch since Stevie Staunton & co took on the June Orlando sunโ€ฆ

    Itโ€™s held every 2 years and incidents like this are rare. Better competition than World Cup and Euros.

    On a side note equatorial Guinea shouldnโ€™t have even been in the semi, it was never a penalty against Tunisia. There was a foul smell of the ref trying anything to get them through
