Wolverhampton Wanderers have a slender first-leg advantage going into the decisive return fixture at Molineux next week.
Wolverhampton Wanderers full-back Jonny Otto has taken to Twitter with his thoughts on the Molineux side’s performance in the Europa League playoff first leg 3-2 victory at Torino.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s charges took the lead against the Serie A side on the stroke of half time when Joao Moutinho’s free kick was headed by Toro defender Gleison Bremer into his own net.
Diogo Jota doubled Wolves’ advantage on 59 minutes as he finished after being set up by Adama Traore, but Torino halved the deficit two minutes later with Lorenzo De Silvestri’s header at the back post.
Raul Jimenez’s calm finish in the 72nd minute then restored Wolves’ two-goal lead before Andrea Belotti’s late penalty for the hosts made it a nervy finish for the Molineux side.
Otto, who was called upon by Nuno in the 63rd minute in place of Traore to shore up Wolves’ right side, wrote the following on social media:
Some Wolves fans took the time to respond to the £15million man‘s message:
Wolves – competing in their first European campaign since 1980 – and Torino meet again at Molineux on 29 August with the winners of this playoff tie progressing to the main group phase of the competition.
