In the post-match press conference, Nuno was asked to comment on Traore. He has hailed him as a “unique” player who is “very hard to stop.”

Nuno said, as quoted by football.london: “I think Wolves have a very good team and created us enormous problems – big, big problems.

“One of those was Adama. Everyone knows Adama is unique, and he’s very hard to stop.”
