It has been an up and down year at Molineux.

It began under Bruno Lage with Wolves looking at the top eight before tailing off late in the campaign.

Then after a big spending summer the season got off to a bad start and Lage was gone.

In came Julen Lopetegui and the place has been lifted. A cup win has been followed by a late victory over Everton and suddenly things are looking up.

Here is a look back at 2022 through the camera with some of the best photographs of 2022:
