Molineux legend Andy Thompson has hailed Mario Lemina for the drive and 'desire' he showed to score the winning goal for Wolves against Tottenham Hotspur.

Wanderers fans are going into the international break happy, after seeing the team come from a goal down to beat Spurs at Molineux. Pablo Sarabia came off the bench to score a sublime goal, before he assisted Lemina for the winner.

The 2-1 victory was deserved. Wolves had played some really nice football at times and worked very hard out of possession.

A lot of the talk has been about Sarabia for the impact he made. Pundits Garth Crooks and Alan Shearer have both selected him in their respective Premier League Teams of the Week.

But Lemina grabbed the winner for Wolves, and Thompson has moved to highlight something he did just before he scored...

Most of the talk has been about that fine winner from Sarabia. It really was a thing of beauty from the Spaniard.

But the winner from Lemina was also very impressive in its construction. Tommy Doyle must take a lot of credit for his quick thinking. He spotted Sararbia on the winger and fizzed it out to him.

Thompson said of Lemina though: "What it does (a quick free-kick), because the Tottenham team hadn't set themselves, it allows you to get at Tottenham. By doing that, people in the central position are standing still, looking, but Lemina didn't, he was the one who was fouled and got himself back up and has absolutely gone straight into the penalty area and Sarabia picked him out.

"That shows you the desire he has, and I thought he played really well throughout the game."

Lemina winner nicely summed up Wolves' performance The goal from Lemina was so satisfying to see. It was a risk from Doyle to play quickly, especially because Jose Sa might have come forward to take it and put it into the penalty area for the likes of Sasa Kalajdzic and Craig Dawson to attack.

But it obviously paid off, and Lemina does deserve great credit for getting in there to score. Especially since he was the player who'd just been fouled.

The PS10 million star is not particularly known for bursting forward into attacking positions.

But as Thompson says, he showed real desire, just as all the Wolves players did for the majority of the game. In a way, it was a goal that epitomised Wolves' performance as a collective.
