Wolverhampton Wanderers fans were delighted with Patrick Cutrone following his goal in the clash with West Ham United.
The Old Gold pushed themselves back up to fifth in the table with three points over the Hammers at Molineux, where the Italian bagged the second of the night after being introduced as a late substitute (as per BBC).
With the 21-year-old struggling for minutes, as well as consistent goal-scoring form (per Transfermarkt), supporters were quick to air their delight for the young striker.
Enjoy that one, Patrick?

Is Patrick Cutrone given enough minutes by Nuno Espirito Santo?Yes, he's still improving
No, he needs more time

The former AC Milan frontman has featured in a total of 286 Premier League minutes for Nuno Espirito Santo across ten outings, in which he has managed to bag twice (per Transfermarkt).
With the Old Gold’s gaffer also pleased for the 21-year-old come the full-time whistle (via Birmingham Mail), Wolves fans continued to air their delight.
Raw Italian passion and emotion. Well done Patrick your up and running. Hope it’s the first of many ??

What do we think?
The young Italian, who is valued at £22.5 million (Transfermarkt), has found minutes difficult to come by over his stay at Molineux so far, but in what little time he has had on the pitch, it is clear he is making an impact on Wolves supporters.
His latest goal has left him with a Premier League average of a goal every 143 minutes of action, usually coming off the bench cold and late in a game, so who knows what his tally could be if he was a regular starter.
