Wolves legend Bull hails Traore for victory at Man City

Wolves legend Steve Bull has hailed the impact of two-goal Adama Traore for victory at Manchester City last week.

He wrote for the Express & Star: "Adama Traore's finishing was top-class as well.

"He has had a lot of criticism during his time at the club, with people saying it's all 100mph with him – too fast.

"He took his goals absolutely brilliantly, though. He slotted them away like a true goalscorer. Some might think they were easy finishes. Trust me, they weren't.

"Traore could have fluffed his lines and smacked the ball into the row Z, but he knew where he wanted to put the ball and placed it past the keeper with confidence both times.

"Raul Jimenez set each of them up, of course, and I thought he was excellent as well, constantly making himself available.

"It was a delight to see him run at the City backline and take on Nicolas Otamendi in the build-up to Traore's first. It's something we expect to see from Diogo Jota, not Jimenez."
