Wolves fans hail latest Raul Jimenez performance

Raul Jimenez helped Wolverhampton Wanderers secure a crucial victory over Torino on Thursday night – and some of the club’s fans on Twitter went wild about his performance.

The Mexican centre-forward scored in a 2-1 home win against Italian outfit Torino, which meant they beat them 5-3 on aggregate to qualify for the Europa League group stages.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side discovered on Thursday that they are in Group K alongside Besiktas, Braga and Slovan Bratislava.

Wolves completed the job on Thursday at Molineux in their second leg against Torino and will hope they can go far in the Europa League competition.

A selection of Wolves supporters on social media discussed Jimenez after his latest display and are huge admirers of him.

He is a 28-year-old with a brilliant all-round style to his game that means he can hold the ball up and also come alive in the penalty area.
