The former Aston Villa star impressed against Manchester City for Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.

A former Aston Villa player made major headlines on Sunday.

Adama Traore scored two late goals against Manchester City as Wolverhampton Wanderers picked up a shock win away to the Premier League champions.

The Spain-born attacker spent a year at Aston Villa in the 2015-16 campaign after being signed by Tim Sherwood, but Roberto Di Matteo offloaded him to Middlesbrough after the Villans’ relegation.

Traore, who joined Villa from Barcelona, only managed 184 minutes in the Premier League during a disappointing first – and last – season at Villa Park, but his potential was always obvious and here’s how fans of the West Midlands club reacted to his brace at Eastlands.

Sunday was a big reminder of his huge potential and, at 23, there is still time for Traore to be a success story in England.

That being said, inconsistency has plagued him over the past four years and it seems unlikely that those issues will suddenly disappear now.

Those were his first two goals for Wolves so far this season, and scored only once in 29 Premier League outings last term.
