Wolves came so close to getting their first Premier League win of the season against Tottenham Hotspur – and one player deserves shouting out.
Vitor Pereira was seconds away from getting three points on the board for Wolves, having gone into injury-time 1-0 up after Santiago Bueno scored.
But Joao Palhinha struck from the edge of the box, giving Sam Johnstone no chance.
It was a real shame for Johnstone, who again played well for Wolves.
It was cruel for Wolves, but the players must now dust themselves off ready for Sunday’s visit of Brighton.
There were undoubtedly lots of positives to take from the draw with Spurs, despite the frustrating end to the game.
Andre was magnificent for Wolves against Spurs, with the Brazilian drawing praise from fans and pundits alike.
Lee Naylor and Andy Thompson both agreed Andre was Wolves’ best player against Tottenham, and it followed another top display against Everton.
MORE WOLVES STORIES
Santiago Bueno also really impressed.
But there is another player who quietly had a really solid game – and that man was Marshall Munetsi.
Marshall Munetsi left it all out there against Tottenham
Munetsi is a player who has always divided opinion at Wolves.
The perception for many is that he’s a player who will run all day, but is not especially amazing on the ball.
Pereira has previously conceded that Munetsi is not the most technical player.
But since signing him, the Portuguese has played him more often than not and it’s clear that the Zimbabwe international is one of his favourite players.
Munetsi was on target last week in the win over Everton in the Carabao Cup, and his performance prompted Pereira to start him again at Tottenham.
And while Andre and Santi Bueno have lapped up most of the plaudits, Munetsi finished the game with some impressive statistics.
He contested a whopping 22 duels, which was easily the most of any Wolves player, winning 10. Only Mohammed Kudus contested more in the game (24).
Munetsi also made 14 defensive contributions, nine of which were clearances – only Santi Bueno had more for Wolves (15).
He also wasn’t bad on the ball, completing 14/19 passes (74%).
Munetsi will be one of Wolves’ most prominent players this season
There can be no doubt how much Pereira adores Munetsi and what he brings to the table.
Pereira described Munetsi as an ‘animal’ in terms of how hard he works for the team, and you could just tell watching the manager talk how much he appreciates him.
Munetsi – who cost £16 million (Nehada Radio) – still has a lot of critics.
But those critics will have to accept that, while Pereira is in the hot seat at Molineux, Munetsi will be prominent in this team.
He’s already fifth for most minutes played this season at Wolves. Considering how fantastic Andre and Joao Gomes are, that is a very good placement for Munetsi.
