Wolves star scored impressive goal despite agonising end to game.

It seemed for a minute that Raul Jimenez’s goal was a defining moment for Wolves against Watford.

Instead it ended up as a footnote on a memorable comeback for Watford.

The Mexican’s goal earned praise from former Wolves midfielder Alex Rae.

Rae hailed Wolves’ decision to sign Jimenez last summer, with his loan recently converted to a permanent deal.

Jimenez’s goal was not enough to seal the win for Wolves, unlike in the previous round against Manchester United.

Watford scored twice to force extra time, before Gerard Deulofeu scored his second of the game.

The defeat will take a long time for Wolves to get over, especially as it seemed as though a FA Cup final appearance was within their grasp.
