Gabby George had given the hosts the lead during a dominant first display, but Brighton were unable to add a second goal despite creating chances throughout the contest.

According to BBC Sport, the home side were ultimately punished for their wastefulness when Wilms found the net in the closing stages to snatch a point for the visitors.
