Wolves defender Craig Dawson praised Pedro Neto for his wonderful goal against Luton Town on Saturday.
Wanderers played out a 1-1 draw with the Hatters at Kenilworth Road.
Every other side has beaten Luton so far in the Premier League.
But Wolves were just not at the races, with Luton fairly dominant throughout.
And Wolves’ struggles were exacerbated when Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was sent off for a kick out on Tom Lockyer.
But Wolves did take the lead against the run of play in the second-half through Neto.
A through ball from Joao Gomes should probably have been tidied up. But the razor sharp Neto stole in, took the ball into the area and lashed into the roof of the net.
It was a shame it wasn’t a winner, with a very controversial penalty decision allowing Luton back into the game.
But Neto is again coming in for high praise, including from his teammate Dawson.
Craig Dawson blown away by Pedro Neto against Luton
Quite simply, Neto was Wolves’ best player once again at the weekend.
That’s now four assists and a goal in his first six outings, which signifies that he is well and truly back.
Speaking about the 23-year-old, Dawson said (Wolves official): “We knew it was going to be tough in the second half with a man less, but Pedro was excellent all game and a real threat for us.
“He’s a top player and it’s a great goal from him and hopefully we can have more goals from him next week.”
Neto really did put in a top shift in difficult circumstances on Saturday.
For the closing stages he was leading the line alone, as Wolves soaked up late pressure.
Pedro Neto looking excellent for Wolves – others need to get to his level
Wolves have struggled as a collective to get points on the board.
But Neto has been a shining light so far, and looks like the player of two years ago which is a major boost.
Neto looks dangerous, but also very fit and sharp off the ball which is massively encouraging.
It’s going to be a tough season, and so Wolves having Neto in form is potentially going to be really crucial – hopefully he can sustain this level for as long as possible.
