Tuesday night at Molineux, Wolves defeated Burnley to get back to winning ways in the Premier League. Following the game, Dan Bentley praised a player for the Clarets.
Wanderers needed to bounce back after losing to Fulham and Arsenal the previous week.
Hwang Hee-chan scored the game’s lone goal, but Wolves prevailed despite the lack of beauty.
Only Erling Haaland, Mo Salah, and Heung-min Son have scored more goals in the Premier League this season than Hwang.
Dan Bentley made a fantastic double save for Wolves prior to Hwang’s goal, with Josh Brownhill—a guy the number two at Molineux truly rates—making one of the saves.
Josh Brownhill, a midfielder for Burnley, is adored by Dan Bentley.
Bentley made a significant contribution to Wolves’ triumph yesterday night; if he hadn’t turned away Brownhill and Jay Rodriguez, Wolves might never have taken the lead through Hwang.
After going off injured against Arsenal over the weekend, Jose Sa did not recuperate in time, thus the 30-year-old was playing yesterday night.
“But Josh is a quality player and I’m fully aware he’s capable of strikes from in and around the box, and even outside the box, with the quality he possesses,” he said after the game, despite giving a wonderful account of himself.
Brownhill, who Bentley claims told him “choice words” following his save, has actually been linked to multiple moves to Wolves in the past year.
According to journalist Dean Jones, there was a rumoured approach made for the player during the summer. Gary O’Neil, who is a huge fan of the player, also reportedly wanted to sign him while he was at Bournemouth.
I think Brownhill is a neat player.
Against Wolves, Brownhill was possibly Burnley’s finest player. He made the most interceptions of any player in the game, four, according to Sofascore.
In addition, he made good use of the ball, winning five out of six duels and completing 43 of 52 passes (83% accuracy).
Bentley would be well aware of the £40,000-per-week player’s skill set because the two were teammates at Bristol City.
Considering that Wolves have been linked to him a few times in the past year or so, one might just want to keep an eye out for him.
Although he hasn’t signed a contract extension with Burnley yet, it was discussed. His current contract expires at the end of the current campaign. Therefore, Wolves might be able to get a midfield steal in January or a free agent the following summer.
