A number of Wolves supporters have been lauding Ruben Neves’ influential performance in their 1-0 win over West Ham on Saturday.
Bruno Lage’s side hosted a flying Hammers team at Molineux in what was a big test of Wanderers’ credentials. They passed with flying colours, however, with Raul Jimenez’s second-half strike proving to be the difference between the two sides.

It was a further sign of the progress that Wolves have made in recent times and the victory saw them jump to sixth place in the Premier League, going above Manchester United in the process.
One player who was exceptional for Wanderers on Saturday was Neves, with the Portuguese midfielder emerging as the highest-rated performer on the day (8.0) according to SofaScore. He completed 67 of his 76 passes (88%), won four duels and three tackles, played one key pass and eight accurate long balls, and made three interceptions in an all-round superb performance.
