So far this term, the Portuguese attacker has featured in 24 games in all competitions for the Old Gold with his latest hat-trick taking his goal tally for the season up to nine, coupled with five assists (as per Transfermarkt).
With the game locked in a stalemate until his introduction, Jota played a key role in the final Group K outing, leaving the Molineux faithful to buzz over their man’s performance.

What do we think?
With a rarely seen 10/10 performance rating for the magician, it is clear why Wolves fans were left so infatuated with the Portuguese international following the clash (as per Express and Star).
