Wolves boss Lopetegui praises Jimenez for victory over Spurs

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui was delighted with Raul Jimenez for victory over Tottenham.

Jimenez put in a superb performance and played a big part in Adama Traore's winner – and Lopetegui was full of praise for the creator, the goalscorer and other players that came into the side.

He said: “I want to highlight a lot of players. For example, Nathan Collins hasn't played in the last matches and he was ready when I looked for him.

“Jonny hasn't played a lot of matches and was ready. Joao, when he went into the pitch, he was ready.

“And, above all, Raul Jimenez has played a fantastic match in my opinion. It's good news for him and for us.

“He didn't score but he was very important in a lot of facets of the play.

“It's important. Sometimes we analyse the forwards for the goals that they score but they have a lot to offer to the team. I have to review the match, but in my opinion he has made a very good match."
