Incredible achievement. This time six years ago in third tier in between defeats at Peterborough and 0-2 home to MK Dons. #wwfc

And without VAR and a bit more care could be even better. Season shaping up nicely

Magic performance tonight, special mention to Saiss, Coady and The Donck. They were superb. But how much more does The GOAT mature. He’s pure 5’7 of football heaven

To add to an impressive season in the Premier League so far, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side also secured qualification to the knockout stages of the Europa League in recent weeks (as per The Mirror).
Whilst the Old Gold has been in fantastic form this season, some criticism has still be levelled at the Molineux club over squad depth and their ability to last the duration (per The Guardian).
Following the club’s latest victory, some supporters had their tongue very firmly in cheek, as they reacted to some of the criticisms following Tim Spiers’ post.
Yes it’s alright having these fancy pants Portuguese and Mexican players but can they do it on a freezing cold night in December?
Oh wait of course they can!!

What do we think?
It is doubtless, the Molineux club is having a season to behold, Nuno is working miracles and it will give peace of mind for all involved that rumours of his departure to Arsenal have swirled down the plughole (via Metro).
