Wolves were facing a potential banana skin with their match away at Championship side Bristol City in the FA Cup third round.
Yet any fears were allayed quickly as Vítor Pereira’s side took the lead after just ten minutes, and it was an ever-more familiar name that found the back of the net.
Rayan Aït-Nouri has been in fine form recently, and it was his superb diving header that put the Premier League side in front.
That makes a total of nine goal involvements in all competitions this season, more than any other Premier League defender.
