Nuno Espírito Santo will never accept a red card in sweeter fashion. Deep into three minutes of second-half stoppage-time, Nuno charged on to the pitch to celebrate with his ecstatic Wolverhampton Wanderers players after Diogo Jota added the seventh goal of this topsy-turvy match – completing his hat-trick after applying the gloss to a devastating move after another magnificent defence-splitting pass by Rúben Neves, the majestic Wolves midfielder.
Jamie Vardy lightened the mood at training this week by dressing up as Spider-Man and seemed to have found an unlikely hero in the shape of skipper Wes Morgan, who headed home three minutes from time, only for Jota to inflict one final blow, slotting home Raúl Jiménez’s cross to add to the gloom shrouding manager Claude Puel. Nuno was sent to the stands but this kind of agonising defeat – a third in a row – could well send Puel packing.
