Wolverhampton Wanderers enjoyed a 2-0 win away to West Ham United on Saturday afternoon and Adama Traore was one of many players to come away with praise for his performance.
The 24-year-old came off the bench in the second half with the game at 0-0 and had a hand in both goals to help Wolves pick up all three points at the London Stadium.
For Wolves’ first goal, Traore ran down the byline and whipped in a cross that Raul Jimenez headed home. For their second goal, he evaded two players and played in Matt Doherty on the right to whip a cross in that Pedro Neto converted with a volley.
Brilliant win. Traore/Neto game changers. But we looked so fit and totally in control. Oh boy have I missed that!! Onto Wednesday night! #wwfc #wolvesaywe 🐺🐺❤❤ https://t.co/kYKRAvXW8x

Normal service has been resumed. Got this Premier League lark cracked. Great goals from Raul and Pedro, Traore the catalyst. Hammers could be in trouble. #WHUWOL #wwfc 🐺🐺🐺

Professional as you like, controlled the game and always felt we'd win it eventually. Subs providing the cutting edge, traore the game changer. Sublime cross for the first, on a plate, second starts the move then what a finish from neto, gambles, watches it all the way 👌🏻#wwfc

Well deserved three points for #WWFC. Traore unplayable as ever transformed the game when he entered.

Nothing short of sensational what Nuno has done with Traore, genuinely one of the best wide players in the league.. Amazing what some decent coaching and patience can achieve 🇪🇸 🐺 #wwfc #traore
