🎥 Wolves defender tops Premier League list with latest goal 🔥

Yet any fears were allayed quickly as Vítor Pereira's side took the lead after just ten minutes, and it was an ever-more familiar name that found the back of the net.
Rayan Aït-Nouri has been in fine form recently, and it was his superb diving header that put the Premier League side in front.
