MILLWALL striker Chris Wood showed exactly why Gus Poyet wants to sign him in January with a superb double but Brighton & Hove Albion hit back to snatch a 2-2 draw.

The hosts were trailing by two goals midway through the second half but substitute Kazenga LuaLua halved the deficit and David Lopez dragged them level from the penalty spot with three minutes remaining.

New Zealand striker Wood is expected to leave parent club West Bromwich Albion in the new year and Seagulls boss Poyet admits he is interested in bringing him back to he south coast, where he had a successful spell on loan a couple of seasons ago.

But Lions manager Kenny Jackett is ready to splash £1m to make Wood's current loan deal a permanent switch to south London.

And the 21-year-old showed why he has become such a hot property with an instinctive first-half finish and a cracker after the break.

Yet it was not quite enough to earn Millwall all three points.
