Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have gushed over a post from the Old Gold’s official account of a goal scored by Stephen Hunt in 2011.
The stellar strike was one to remember for the Molineux faithful as it secured a last day of the season survival in a 3-2 defeat to Blackburn Rovers at the expense of Birmingham City (per BBC).
With supporters offered the chance to show their love for Hunt’s goal all over again after the post (as per Wolves), they jumped at the chance.

With many reliving the pivotal moment in the club’s Premier League history, they could not help but gush in the comments section.

What do we think?
The strike is spectacular and was a huge moment in the club’s Premier League history due to swerving relegation at the expense of rivals, Birmingham.
Wolves are certainly onto bigger and better things under Nuno Espirito Santo and this video shows just how far the Portuguese boss has taken the club.
