Liam Keen comment: Wolves wing-backs the unsung heroes in magnificent win
In what many have dubbed a ‘perfect’ performance, Wolves were well worth the win against Manchester City.
A fantastic tactical display, filled with smart decisions on Gary O’Neil’s part, resulted in a superb low block defensive display, mixed with swift and effective counter-attacking football.
A number of players have been rightly praised for their impact on Saturday – Craig Dawson, Pedro Neto and Hwang Hee-chan in particular – but two other players played a big part in Wolves’ 5-2-3 system.
Wing-backs Rayan Ait-Nouri and Nelson Semedo were both outstanding and both, in their own ways, contributed heavily to the victory.
On the left flank, Ait-Nouri has come from a summer outcast destined to depart the club under Julen Lopetegui, to a consistent starter under O’Neil.
