Wolves beat Leicester City 4-3 at Molineux on Saturday afternoon.
Wolverhampton Wanderers played out a remarkable game of football on Saturday afternoon, beating Leicester City 4-3 at Molineux.
Having lost to Manchester City on Monday night, Wolves were keen to bounce back against Leicester, and got off to a dream start.
Joao Moutinho’s cross was flicked home by Diogo Jota, before Ryan Bennett headed home a Moutinho corner to make it 2-0.
Leicester hit back in the second half, with Jamie Vardy teeing up Demarai Gray for 2-1, before Harvey Barnes’ shot was deflected into his own net by Conor Coady to make it 2-2.
Wolves re-established their lead when Jota fired home from a stunning Rubes Neves pass, only for Wes Morgan to head Leicester level again in a topsy-turvy encounter.
Wolves did have the last laugh though, with Raul Jimenez teeing up Jota to score his hat-trick in injury time, securing all three points for Nuno’s men.
l
Jota and Neves grabbed the headlines, but holding midfielder Leander Dendoncker was superb in just his third Premier League start for the club.
The 22-year-old arrived on loan from Anderlecht in August, and has taken a while to get going but now appears to be emerging as a top player for Wolves.
Fans took to Twitter to hail his performance, suggesting that he is a ‘baller’ and was the ‘unsung hero’ in the 4-3 win, with other fans adding that they are in love with the Belgian ace.
