Fer Lopez interrupts Wolves teammate’s interview after Everton win, ‘What a player’

Wolves are through to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup after beating Everton – and Fer Lopez was left thoroughly impressed by one of his teammates.

Wolves await their opponents after beating Everton 2-0 at Molineux, with Marshall Munetsi and Tolu Arokodare the goalscorers for the hosts.

It was a much improved performance from Wolves, who played with a back four.

Ladislav Krejci really impressed Wolves fans with his display, and his centre-back partner Santiago Bueno has also received his flowers.

It was a first clean sheet of the season for Wolves, and Sam Johnstone played his part last night, making four saves in the game.

And one man who was left impressed by the Englishman’s display was Fer Lopez.

The Wolves goalkeeper situation has become a talking point again.

Last term, Jose Sa was the go-to pick for Vitor Pereira, after Johnstone had failed to take the chances handed to him by Gary O’Neil following his £10 million transfer.

But this season, Sa has really struggled, and made only a handful of saves so far.

Johnstone has made a few appearances, and against Everton – barring one risky pass that found an Everton player – he was solid.

Wolves fans have called for Johnstone to replace Sa now, but it remains to be seen if Pereira will stick with the Englishman this weekend against Tottenham Hotspur.

After last night’s game, Johnstone was doing a post-match interview with Wolves’ media team, and Fer Lopez shouted ‘What a player’ as he walked by, which prompted a big smile from the goalkeeper.

Johnstone cannot be dropped

Pereira is now facing some big calls this weekend.

Wolves were a lot better against Everton, and some players have staked good claims to play against Spurs.

Johnstone is one such player, and we will see if Pereira was as impressed as the fans.

The Wolves manager runs the risk of sending out the wrong message by recalling Sa, whose form is clearly worse than Johnstone’s right now.

Good performances need to be rewarded, and Johnstone can feel extremely hard done by if he is not starting against Spurs.
