All the top current Wolves stories including, Matheus Cunha’s praise, youngster nets overhead kick and promising statistic suggests Europe will return.
Matheus Cunha’s praise
Wolves returned to winning ways on Saturday as they saw out a 2-1 victory over Fulham. It was the perfect response to their 3-0 hammering against Newcastle to renew their European hopes.
Multiple players in the first-team squad really stepped up. Especially after Pedro Neto and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde were forced off the field with an injury.
One man who really stood out was Joao Gomes. The midfielder came back into the starting line-up after an injury and ran the show against Fulham. After the game, Cunha took to social media to praise the Brazilian’s performance.

Youngster scores overhead kick
It’s not just the Wolves first-team who have been performing this weekend. Multiple academy products have been playing for their clubs out on loan.
One person who really stood out was Nigel Lonwijk. The Dutchman was sent out on loan to Wycombe last month and has already become a fan favourite.
On Saturday, the defender scored a phenomenal overhead kick to put the Chairboys in front against Reading.

Wolves’ European chances
Wolves’ European hopes have once again been renewed after their recent victory against Fulham.
The club are back up to ninth, two points off West Ham in seventh. With the club still in the FA Cup and closing in on the top few teams in the league, fans are once again dreaming of European football.
One statistic indicates that this dream could well become a reality for Gary O’Neil’s team and could well be having European nights at Molineux again next season.
