Morgan Gibbs-White made a huge impact when he came on for Wolves in the 62nd minute against Tottenham on Saturday evening, and even the away fans were blown away by the 18-year-old.
He couldn’t quite inspire his side to a point but when he came onto the pitch Wolves were 3-0 down. That was 3-2 by the final whistle after the game was almost turned on its head.
COMMENTARY
Gibbs-White has got everyone talking after a sensational cameo for Wolves at Molineux on Saturday. The game seemed done and dusted when he came onto the pitch but two penalties, successfully converted by Ruben Neves and Raul Jimenez threatened an unlikely comeback. However, Tottenham held on to take all three points in front of a buzzing Wolves crowd. Most of the buzz came from Gibbs-White. Wolves fans know how special he is but he’s been used sparingly by manager Nuno so far this season. This was his longest league cameo in a Wolves shirt this season after starting two EFL cup games but we imagine that he’ll be getting a lot more game-time in the near future. However, last night, even the Spurs fans took to Twitter to hail the youngster, with one saying that he showed up Winks at times. Another said that he wanted Gibbs-White at Tottenham.
Here are the best reactions from Spurs fans to the teen’s display:
