We really needed that win, honestly. After last week, everything felt kinda heavy, but tonight we got ourselves a proper 4-1 win over at Wolves. Bruno, he was just everywhere, scoring two and making everything click again. It felt like an answer to all the noise, you know?
It started with a mistake from them. Casemiro, he just never stops, does he? Took the ball and found Cunha. He played it square to Bruno, who still had to get it through a crowd. But he did, squeezing it right in. That was a relief, seeing it hit the net.
Right before half, they got one back. Our defense was just scrambling, the ball bouncing around until Bellegarde put it in. That goal, it changed the feeling completely. We went in at 1-1 and it didn’t feel right.
But the second half? We came out different. Seven minutes in, Bruno hits this beautiful long pass to Dalot. He touched it first time to Mbeumo, who was just calm and slotted it home. The momentum just swung our way, you could feel it.
Didn’t have to wait long for another. Mason Mount, he was back in the team today. Got a cross and just smashed it in on the volley. What a hit that was. He controlled things from the left all game, honestly.
After the whistle, the manager said the reaction was what we needed. That we showed character. I think he was right.
We got a penalty late on, VAR said their guy handled it. Bruno took it, sent the keeper wrong way. Just wrapped it all up. For Wolves, you gotta feel a bit. They’re still looking for a win this season.
For us, this lifts some pressure. We was moving the ball so well in that second half. Bruno led it, Casemiro broke up everything. It’s the kind of performance you want to see more of.
We just had to win this one. And we did, turning a tight game into something comfortable. Mount was great, Bruno led. It sets us back on track, but the real test is doing it again. This has to be the foundation, not just a one-off. A real good night, that.
The traveling supporters, their voices were almost gone by the end, but you could see it on their faces. A proper away day, that. Sometimes you forget how good a win feels when it’s been a while, it just changes the whole mood around the place for the coming week.
For me, seeing Casemiro back to his best, that might be the biggest thing to take. He was just always there, breaking up their rhythm before it even started. It lets everyone else play, you know? When he plays like that, the whole team seems to stand a bit taller, like they’ve got more time on the ball themselves.
Looking ahead now, the trick is to not just fall back into old habits. We’ve had these bright spots before. But tonight, at a place like Molineux, it does feel like maybe a corner’s been turned. The manager got his message across, and the players went out and did it. That’s all you can ask for, really. Now it’s about doing it all over again next time out.
