Amid a buzzing, bouncing crowd at the Molineux, Adama Traore rose to the occasion and served up one of his classic displays against a rather ponderous Tottenham back line.

He tormented the likes of Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld, who are not known for their prowess of covering ground quickly, with his lightning pace, trickery and bursts of acceleration.Throughout the first half, he dropped deep to pick up the ball and breezed through the opposition ranks with jinking runs and immediate crosses.

In both the 31st and 41st minute, he left every Spurs player in his wake and delivered teasing balls off the back of a huge surge across 30-40 yards. He does need to improve on the final parts of his attacking game, but with the right grooming and tactical alterations, one would claim he's not far away. No wonder then, have 24 players received yellow cards this season for challenges on Traore alone, in all competitions.

It was his goal that set the stage on fire. Jimenez, who wasn't proving to be as prolific, supplied a well-weighed pass to the former Middlesbrough winger, who took no time to flash past a hapless Gazzaniga.
