Wolves recorded a brilliant win over Manchester City yesterday in the Premier League, with Pedro Neto a huge influence once again for Wanderers.
Gary O’Neil relieved some of the pressure on himself by putting together a perfect plan.
He threw Toti Gomes into his starting XI to make a back three, and set up to counter with three speedy forwards.
Wolves put in a brilliant display that was full of heart.
City created lots of chances, but few were of real quality.
And Wolves were able to cause problems with Neto, Hwang Hee-chan and Matheus Cunha.
Neto’s performance was outstanding.
His work for the opening goal was just fantastic, and a number of players have sent messages to him on social media since the game…

Neto uploaded on Instagram yesterday.
Hundreds of fans sent messages of congratulations to the 23-year-old.
And there were also several nice messages from other Wolves players.
Toti Gomes summed it up pretty well, saying ‘What a player’.
Joao Gomes said ‘Congratulations bro, you’re playing hard’.
Tommy Doyle wrote ‘Yes lad’.
Matheus Cunha added ‘You’re playing it’s a joke’.
Nelson Semedo said ‘The Beast’.
And former Wolves captain Ruben Neves also commented, adding three heart eyes emojis.
Neto is well and truly back to his best, and full-backs are going to have a lot of trouble stopping him when he’s in this kind of mood.
