It took less than 45 minutes of Vítor Pereira’s Wolves tenure for the supporters to sing his name as he witnessed his new side thrash Leicester. The Portuguese will, however, want to take note of his opposite number, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has gone from triumph in his first game to being booed off in fewer than three weeks.
The atmosphere at Wolves has been dark in recent weeks. Mario Lemina lost the captaincy after an altercation with West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen, Matheus Cunha was charged by the Football Association for taking out his anger last weekend on spectacles belonging to a member of the Ipswich staff and Gary O’Neil paid with his job for securing only nine points from 16 games, but that was forgotten here.
