If somebody had told you that Wolves and Leicester City would be 1-1 at half-time and asked you to guess how both goals came about, anybody who has watched these two sides even a handful of times over the past few years wouldn’t have gone too far wrong with their hypotheses.
The home side took the lead through a Ruben Neves goal from outside the penalty area, before the visitors equalised from a goal created by a Youri Tielemans through ball. Those two moments were the perfect encapsulation of these respective players’ raison d’être — the thing which defines both their individual playing styles and the way in which their teams look to pressure the opponent in the final third.
