Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have waxed lyrical over Ryan Bennett following a video posted by the club’s official account.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are currently on a warm-weather training camp in Spain, from which the club posted a video of the Englishman winning a small-sided game with an over-head kick (as per Wolves).
With supporters sent into raptures over the skill of the 29-year-old centre-back’s game-winning kick, they headed straight for the comments to wax lyrical over their man.

Should Ryan Bennett be a starter in Thursday's Europa League clash against Besiktas?Yes, we need some rotationNo, we should go full strength |
So far this term, the English defender has made 15 appearances for the Old Gold, over the duration of which he has managed to get himself on the scoresheet once (per Transfermarkt).
Whilst being most renowned for his defensive prowess as opposed to his technical ability, fans were shocked that the 29-year-old was able to pull off such an audacious move.
@whalewolves i told you Brexit Bennett had this in his locker.

What do we think?
While there was some doubt over whether the Englishman had a skill like that at his disposal, he’s made it clear now.
What is more important, however, is the welcome break that it looks like the warm-weather training trip is giving the players, with spirits clearly high.
