# Wolves: Fans react to Rui Patricio training ground goal

**Loads of Wolves fans have been reacting to a training ground goal scored by goalkeeper Rui Patricio, one which was quite easy on the eye.**

In the end, it was a simple finish from the 31-year-old, who was right in front of the goal. However, the ball that was played into him by compatriot Ruben Neves was an exceptional one as it took out all of the opposition players — something Wolves supporters have become accustomed to seeing.

This season, Neves has averaged 5.5 accurate long balls per Premier League game, putting him in the top three for that statistic ([via WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/2/Seasons/7811/Stages/17590/PlayerStatistics/England-Premier-League-2019-2020)). As for Patricio, he has more than proven himself between the sticks, making [two](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/penalty_save) penalty saves in the current campaign. No shot-stopper has made more.

The two linked up very well for that goal in training, prompting plenty of responses. Take a look at what Wolves fans have been saying below…
