Wolves secured a stunning comeback win against Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend, with Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina taking the spotlight for their crucial contributions.
However, amidst the headlines, another player quietly delivered an exceptional performance. Joao Gomes earned a starting spot after being on the bench in previous games against Newcastle United and Sheffield United.
Against Spurs, the Brazilian showcased a level of play that arguably marked one of his best performances of the season. Despite Sarabia's breathtaking equalizer and Lemina's 97th-minute winner, the 22-year-old stood out in midfield.
SofaScore data revealed his extensive involvement, with 70 touches in the match, second only to Rayan Ait-Nouri. Gomes displayed superb ball control, completing 44 out of 48 passes with an impressive accuracy of 92%, including a key pass.
Known for his tenacity in the dirty work, the midfielder made three interceptions, two tackles, and contested 10 duels, winning five. As the Wanderers head into the international break on a high note, Gomes' stellar performance adds depth to the narrative of their remarkable comeback victory, proving that his contributions were integral to the team's success against the North London outfit.
