Substitute Traore inspires Wolves to away win

Substitute Traore inspires Wolves to away win
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

(Reuters/NAN)

Adama Traore came off the bench to inspire Wolverhampton Wanderers to a 2-0 win at West Ham United on Saturday.

It was an outcome that presented a significant result at both ends of the 2019/2020 English Premier League (EPL) table.

The quicksilver Spanish winger was perhaps surprisingly left on the bench for 64 minutes but his introduction enlivened an otherwise humdrum encounter at an empty London Stadium.

Traore’s surging run and sublime cross was perfect for Raul Jimenez to head powerfully home in the 73rd minute.

Traore was then involved again in the move which ended with fellow substitute Pedro Neto firing home a sensational left-footed volley to seal the win.

It lifted Wolves into sixth place, level on 46 points with fifth-placed Manchester United.

Defeat for West Ham, their fourth in their last five Premier League games, left them in 17th spot, ahead of Bournemouth, who faced Crystal Palace later on Saturday, on goal difference.

West Ham worked hard to match Wolves but struggled to create much, apart from a glorious early chance for Pablo Fornals who lashed a shot wildly high and wide.

The home side must have feared the arrival of Traore from the bench and so it proved as he provided the spark to earn Wolves an important win in their quest for Europe.

West Ham’s left-back Aaron Cresswell is no slouch but he could get nowhere near Traore who powered past him before clipping over a cross for Jimenez.

The goal helped the Mexican to chalk up his 14th goal of the season, nine of them assisted by Traore.

Traore then showed some fancy footwork before passing to Matt Doherty whose cross was dispatched in style by Neto.

No wonder Traore was named man of the match for his 25-minute cameo appearance.

“It’s about using the substitutes at the right moments,” Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo later said.

“We needed this win to feel that we are really back. We will never get used to playing without fans. Let’s hope and pray we get a vaccine or something so we can be together again.”

With derbies against Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea looming, West Ham manager David Moyes knows these are critical times for the club.

“I thought we limited a very good team but the difference was when Traore came on,” Moyes said.

The statement also urged residents of the state to prepare for statewide lockdown if infections continue to increase unabated. It also advised residents of Bonny local government and Onne community, except those on essential services and duly exempted, to stay at home as part of measures to check the pandemic in those areas. “Pursuant to the fundamental objective of stopping the spread of coronavirus, we have reviewed the situation in Bonny Island and Onne Communities and come to the conclusion that a total lockdown is necessary at this time to shut down the continuing spread of the virus in these communities. “By this measure, all shops, offices and business places must remain closed. All gatherings, including religious, burial and wedding activities are prohibited. “All entry and exit points into the two communities, except those on essential services and duly permitted, are also banned. “Security agencies have been directed to enforce the lockdown by arresting and prosecuting anyone who dares to disobey these directives,” the statement read in part.
