# Wolves: Fans hail Daniel Podence during Aston Villa encounter

**Many Wolves fans heaped praise on forward Daniel Podence during the first half of his side’s Premier League clash against local rivals Aston Villa at Molineux.**

The 25-year-old [lined up](https://www.fotmob.com/livescores/3411468/matchfacts/wolverhampton-wanderers-vs-aston-villa) in the number ten role for the West Midlands outfit, with Adama Traore and Pedro Neto alongside him, with Fabio Silva leading the attacking line.

Podence managed to get a few shots off on goal and was troubling the Villains backline, in what was an eye-opening performance from the Portuguese attacker (via [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2020/dec/12/wolves-v-aston-villa-premier-league-live)).

Before the game, Podence had scored twice and provided two assists from 10 starts and was looking to increase his tally before the Christmas period comes to a close ([Whosc0red](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/300513/Show/Daniel-Podence)).

With this in mind, supporters were pleased with what they saw from Podence, who has become a mainstay in Nuno Espirito Santo’s side since his [£16.6m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51255300) move from Olympiakos last January.
