Soucek held up nine fingers in tribute and captain Jarrod Bowen, who scored the winning goal, with O’Neil claiming there was another foul in the build-up, ran to pick up a number nine Antonio shirt after his accomplished strike. He had chopped inside, beating a half-hearted challenge from Guedes to guide a low shot into the corner of the net.

For Gary O’Neil it looks like the end. For Julen Lopetegui it looks like a stay of execution. Following this defeat Wolves are expected to appoint a new head coach. Maybe even a win or a draw would not have been enough to save O’Neil.
