Wolverhampton Wanderers had a celebrity guest attend their final Premier League home game of the season against Fulham on Saturday.

Jorge Arias, also known as Sin Cara, is a professional wrestler competing in the WWE, and has struck up a friendship with Wolves striker Raul Jimenez.

The Mexico international was on El Tri duty in March, the nation playing two games in California, and on his return to Molineux, he brought with him a luchador mask gifted by Arias.

Jimenez famously put on the mask – in which the Wolves badge features prominently – after scoring the opening goal in the 3-2 extra-time defeat to Watford in the FA Cup semi-final.

On Wednesday, Arias said that he accepted an invitation from managing director Laurie Dalrymple to attend the game against the Saints.

The day before the game, he posed with Jimenez:

During the game, which ended in a 1-0 victory to Wolves courtesy of Leander Dendoncker’s volley, plenty of Wolves fans got involved in welcoming the luchador to Molineux by sporting masks and themed outfits.

Here are some pictures from the day:
