Fans of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been flocking to a Twitter post from the club’s Irish full-back Matt Doherty.
On Monday evening, the Old Gold ran a Twitter commentary of a game from December 2019 in which Manchester City were defeated 3-2 (per Wolves).
In the game, Wolves’ Irish defender scored the winning goal (per Wolves) and following the club’s tweet about it, the player himself quote tweeted it, which led to lots of responses from Wolves fans (per Matt Doherty).

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from Wolves fans to Doherty’s tweet, they fully appreciate both the player and the goal he scored against Pep Guardiola’s outfit.
With a 6.97/10 average rating in the Premier League making the full-back the fifth-best performer for Wolves this term (per WhoScored), fans’ infatuation comes as no surprise.
