# Wolves: Fans hail Vitinha’s performance

**A number of Wolves supporters have been hailing Vitinha’s performance in the 1-1 draw away to West Brom on Monday night.**

Nuno Espirito Santo’s team were hoping for a rare positive outing in what has been a frustrating season as they headed to The Hawthorns for the Black Country derby.

Wolves could only pick up a point against their struggling rivals, though, with Fabio Silva and Mbaye Diagne exchanging goals.

It wasn’t exactly a vintage performance from Nuno’s men, who would have been hoping for a win against a team who have been towards the bottom of the table all season.

One player who stood out for Wolves, though, was Vitinha, having been handed [just his third start](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/384887/History/Vitinha) in the Premier League in 2020/21. As per [Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/west-bromwich-albion-wolverhampton/dsi), the 21-year-old found a team-mate with 54 of his 60 passes, won six duels and completed three dribbles, while he was also involved in the move which led to Silva’s opener and named as [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/west-bromwich-albion-vs-wolverhampton-wanderers/report/429176)‘ man of the match.
