Wolves took a point against Aston Villa on Sunday in what was a fairly satisfactory result in the end – and Lee Naylor shared who he thought was really man of the match for the hosts.
Hwang Hee-chan put Wolves ahead after fantastic work from Pedro Neto.
But Wolves frustratingly let that lead slip after just a minute.
Pau Torres converted an equaliser for the visitors from an Ollie Watkins cross.
Hwang and Neto have grabbed headlines again for combining for another goal.
It is the third time, Neto has assisted the South Korean in the Premier League this season.
They were great again – but in the eyes of former Molineux full-back Naylor, there was another contender for man of the match for Wolves…
Lee Naylor hails ‘outstanding’ Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa for display against Aston Villa
Naylor was watching the game on Sunday and giving his opinions to the club’s Matchday Live show.
In his eyes, despite a couple of worrying moments, Sa was absolutely key for Wanderers.
He said (via Wolves Weekly): “I thought he was outstanding. Straight from the off in the second-half, Villa had an opportunity through Watkins and he had to be on it. To keep that level of concentration when you’ve just gone into a break, to come straight back out and pull off a save like that…
“He made two or three unbelievable match-winning saves. For me he was 100% my man of the match.”
Jose Sa comes in clutch for Wolves
We know that Sa has the potential to drop a clanger every now and then.
But he largely offsets them by putting in performances like against Villa.
He does win Wolves a fair few points, and he deserves praise for his efforts against Villa on Sunday.
Sa – who recently signed a new deal at Wolves – could be one of the top goalkeepers in the league if he just cut out some of his rashness.
He has a lot of brilliant attributes, including his shot-stopping and command of his box.
But sometimes his decision-making is questionable, and it can lead to some frustrating moments.
