Wolves skipper Conor Coady has labelled Diogo Jota as “sensational” after he scored five goals in two games. The Portuguese forward’s brace in last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Brighton ended an 11-game run without a goal for club and country and he came off the bench on Thursday to score an 11-minute hat-trick in the Europa League.
Conor Coady said: “Diogo Jota is a sensational footballer. It’s not just his goals, it’s his all-round play. The way he defends, his positional play, the way he links up players, he’s an outstanding footballer. He’s an absolute pleasure to have at this football club, he really is. When you looked at him coming on (on Thursday), I don’t think they (Besiktas) were excited about him coming on, but we were and you know he’s going to impact the game as much as possible, and he did that.”
