A number of Wolves supporters have hailed Joao Moutinho’s performance in his team’s Premier League clash with Chelsea on Sunday.
Bruno Lage’s men have returned to Premier League action looking to kick on from their impressive 1-0 win away to Brighton in midweek.
Chelsea made the trip to Molineux on Sunday off the back of a disappointing run of form, with only two wins picked up in their last five league outings.

Their dip in form has seen their title chances hampered and Wolves were looking to dent them further, enhancing their hopes of sealing a European finish this season.
They did just that by holding the Champions League winners to a goalless draw, and one player who shone for Wanderers against the Blues was the evergreen Moutinho.
The 35-year-old completed 39 passes, the third-highest total among the home side, while none of his team-mates had more than his 70 touches (SofaScore).

Wolves fans laud Moutinho’s display
These Wolves fans took to Twitter to hail the Portuguese veteran’s “absolutely regal” showing.
“The two oldest players on the pitch the two best for me – Joao Moutinho and Thiago Silva. Flies in the face of resale value, ageing players not being of much use once they’re past 30. Still producing the goods at the highest level“
