It appears that reports of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Premier League demise had been greatly exaggerated.
Following the shock departure of Nuno Espirito Santo at the end of last season and the appointment of relative unknown Bruno Lage to replace him, many neutrals expected the worst for the Black Country side this term.
Wolves had slumped under Nuno and looked like a team in desperate need of reinvention, struggling for goals and being accused of being boring.
