Darren Bent's early goal is enough to give Brighton & Hove Albion a half-time lead away at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Championship.

Bent stooped low to head home Inigo Calderon's cross after 10 minutes, as the Wolves defence left the Aston Villa loanee unmarked at the far post.

Wolves struggled to create chances in a quiet opening period, but went close when Dave Edwards glanced Bakary Sako's cross wide.

Sako almost sent Wolves level before the interval when he volleyed James Henry's cross towards goal, forcing a acrobatic save from David Stockdale.

The home side increased the pressure before the break, but they could not find the breakthrough.
