Pedro Neto scores a beautiful goal in Wolves’ 1-1 draw with Luton to put his 32-month injury ordeal behind him.
Wolves and Luton tied 1-1 on Saturday thanks to a strike from Pedro Neto.
It follows a series of knee problems that limited him to six games in the previous season.
The newest episode of Mail Sport’s podcast It’s All Kicking Off is available to listen to.
In the process of regaining the form that made him one of the most intriguing possibilities in the Premier League, Pedro Neto appears to be on track to end Wolves’ offensive problems.
A journey that seemed set to take the Portuguese striker to one of Europe’s best teams was put on hold after he sustained two serious knee injuries in the past 2.5 years.
However, Neto scored five goals this season, including a fantastic goal in Wolves’ 1-1 draw against Luton. Additionally, he has four assists and four significant chance creations.
‘When I arrived, I didn’t know too much about him, and I was told that perhaps he wasn’t performing to the levels the club would expect of him,’ said boss Gary O’Neil.
We are only six games into the league season, but he has already embraced all of our requests, including how he exercises, plays within the shape, and processes information. He has both extraordinary talent and athletic prowess.
Can he add other goals? Probably, especially because he can come inside with his left foot and plays on the right. Throughout my stay, he has been simply great.
After collecting a straight red card for kicking out at Tom Lockyer in the first half of only his second Wolves game, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde might face disciplinary action from the team.
Following Neto’s goal, Carlton Morris’ penalty gave Luton their first season point. Wolves, though, were incensed by the award because Joao Gomes was handballed.
Everyone should stop talking about Luton being the only team without any points, according to manager Rob Edwards. That is now off our shoulders.
We were a small club in the Championship before we were promoted, and since we are now in the Premier League, we will remain a small club.
“We are facing mammoths, enormous clubs.” We shouldn’t be here, probably. However, learning is permitted, and I am happy with the progress we are making.
