# Wolverhampton Wanderers: Fans praise Morgan Gibbs-White after performance against Braga

**Wolverhampton Wanderers praised the performance of youngster Morgan Gibbs-White in the 1-0 loss to Portuguese side Braga in their opening Europa League game of the season.**

The 19-year-old played 67 minutes as Wolves lost 1-0 thanks to a 71st-minute strike from Ricardo Horta [(via BBC)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49745906).

Gibbs-White made the joint-second most dribbles of any player on the pitch as he was rated the highest of all Wolves players by [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1427174/Live/Europe-UEFA-Europa-League-2019-2020-Wolverhampton-Wanderers-Braga).

The England youth international has enjoyed a good time at the club, making 60 appearances for the first-team at the mere age of 19 [(via Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/morgan-gibbs-white/leistungsdaten/spieler/429014).

The youngster tweeted after the loss, saying: “Disappointed with the defeat this evening but have to bounce back at the weekend. Thanks for your support tonight.” [(via Twitter)](https://twitter.com/Morgangibbs27/status/1174795004876713984)

The loss to Braga was the side’s third consecutive defeat in all competitions after losses to [Everton and Chelsea](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49745906) in the Premier League.

Fans were more than complimentary of the young midfielder after what was a good performance as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Wolves fans after Gibbs-White tweeted his message:

> Your best game Morgan lad – and the best player on the pitch by a mile. Tactical switch only / logical when you came off. Keep your head high, and keep fighting
