Wolves striker Raul: Molineux goal really special

Wolves striker Raul Jimenez was delighted to score at Molineux in victory over Everton.

Raul revealed his delight after an emotional first goal at Molineux since returning from a life-threatening head injury.

The 30-year-old scored the game-clinching second as Wolves beat Everton 2-1 on Monday.

He said: “It feels really, really good to be back on the scoresheet here at home. We suffered more in the second-half, but a few times it happens.

“We believed until the end we'd win this hard game and we go up in the table.

“It's really special. Since the first day I made a connection with this team, this club, these people, so it's really exciting for me to be here, to be making history, and being part of this great club."

Wolves moved up to seventh in the Premier League after a fourth win in five games to stake their claim for a return to Europe, having reached the Europa League quarter-finals in 2020.

Jimenez told the club's official site: “Everything is possible. We have to dream big, and we have to go match by match, game by game, but we have to keep going with this confidence, being brave.

“It doesn't matter who we face, we have to do our game, having the ball, we have to go everywhere and try to do our game."
