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.
