Wolves on a roll and looking for European spots


Wolverhampton 2, Bournemouth 0
Molineaux Stadium, Wolverhampton

For these Wolves, they knew what this campaign was to bring to them filled with a series of challenges and among one of them was to fight for their permanency in the top circuit of Premiership. 

Today at home in Molineaux Stadium the local Hampton Boys played like a total contender and within a point of sixth place Manchester United these with a point advantage over the Wanderers.  

Still for the Wolves manager, Nuño Espiritu Santo seeing how his project is taking a turn for the best, he is aware of the second half is to see the best of contests in this league.

This is something that in spite of the good football his side is playing lately and this squad is returning to its old glories, for the Portuguese Boss he is aware of instituting consistency in his group can pursue in the end a spot in the Europa League.

So far, three consecutive wins earned have uplifted the Wolves to seventh place with 25 points by beating the likes of an unbeatable Chelsea, Newcastle Untied being on a positive streak and another notable in Bournemouth. 

As the Cherries coming to town and looking forward to erase their negative streak lately that has put them on the down side and moving down the table after having a commanding sixth place position and todays loss puts below the top ten. 

For manager Espiritu Santo initial eleven working wonders and displaying a total unity in the field, teamwork is playing; an important role in this club performance so far in the campaign has netted this squad many positives in the campaign. 

However with the winter market coming soon in Premiership what will this club go after with the current initial eleven and depth displayed by its bench what possibly will close this club circle to continue on with their positive run.

As Bournemouth in the course of this campaign manager Eddie Howe has put on a winning squad and being among the top spots within striking distance of fourth place at times, suddenly this squad has not been playing good football. 

 With the possession in favor of the visiting Cherries of 62.2over 37.8 of the locals, in the end good intelligently displayed football was the factor of this club success and continuance of their winning ways early in the match. 

As Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio continues putting on amazing campaigns under the arches, today was no exception on the numbers of direct shoots the visitors put on and test his skills all evening long in Molineaux. 

The first of today’s two goals came in  the 12’ minute when Diego Jota in a brilliant play and counter passing to a wide open Raul Jimenez to open up the scoreboard in the 12’ minute, putting the home side ahead. 

Once again, anther combination and clear play of goal by Helder Costa over Ivan Cavaleiro in the 90+4 were the definitive play and icing on the cake for the local Wanderers to rise up with their third consecutive win.
