Some Wolves fans have reacted on Twitter to the excellent performance of Raul Jimenez against Manchester City.
The old gold beat Pep Guardiola’s side 2-0 at the Etihad in what was a masterful performance by the whole pack.
Adama Traore has basked in the spotlight the most thanks to being the goalscorer, but fans haven’t failed to praise the performance of Wolves’ number nine.

“Congratulations to the Wolves and my friend Raul Jimenez”
Wolves shocked the world by beating Man City at the Etihad mere days after having defeated Besiktas in Turkey. And Nuno was more than delighted with the performance.
Adama Traore received a lot of praise for his heroics, but Nuno was quick to applaud the whole team instead of just individuals.
“He [Adama Traore] did very well,” said Nuno Espirito Santo via Birmingham Mail. “But it was not only him, all the players did very well. We have to congratulate the players today, they did fantastic.”
The whole team deserves all the credit in the world but another standout player was Raul Jimenez. Wolves’ Mexican number nine assisted both goals and fans have been applauding his skill and effort nonstop.

Wolves have won three games in a row and it’s a shame that the international break has halted their momentum. However, the team will be more than ready to battle Southampton on October 19th.
