Wolves striker Sasa Kalajdzic was the hero of the hour against Everton yesterday – and Diego Costa sent the striker a message after the game.
Wanderers are finally off the mark in the Premier League, picking up a much needed victory against the Toffees.
After opening with two defeats, it was important for Wolves to win yesterday.
It was not a great performance, and Jose Sa had to be on top form to keep Wolves in the contest.
The goalkeeper was outstanding yesterday and was a huge reason for Wolves winning the game.
But it was Kalajdzic who got the all important goal, and it was a brilliant moment for him given the tough past year he’s had…
Diego Costa sends message to Sasa Kalajdzic after his winner for Wolves against Everton
Many supporters sent messages to Kalajdzic after the game yesterday.
Ruben Neves also reacted on Instagram to the Austria international’s amazing moment.
But there was also a word from former Molineux striker Diego Costa.
Costa left the club earlier this summer when his short-term deal expired.
He enjoyed his time at Wolves and struck up a close bond with a lot of players in the squad.
Costa and Kalajdzic were a part of the striker’s union, and the veteran was delighted to see Kalajdzic score a winner for Wolves.
Uploading a picture of himself with the ball tucked under his shirt and tagging his partner Lorena, Kalajdzic wrote ‘This one is for you’. The couple are expecting.
Costa replied ‘Felicidades Sasa’, and also dropped a heart emoji.
An amazing moment for Sasa
What a moment it was yesterday for Kalajdzic.
Seeing everything that Wolves have put out about the striker since he came to the club, it is just brilliant to see him experience something like that.
The £15 million star worked extremely hard to come back from a very cruel setback.
There is probably no one in the Wolves squad who deserved to score a late winner more than him yesterday.
And Wolves fans will now hope he can kick on from this and starting chipping in a few more.
