In his most recent Premier League Team of the Week, iconic Premier League figure Alan Shearer recognized the performance of a Wolves forward. This commendation followed Wolves’ impressive comeback against Tottenham Hotspur, rebounding from a frustrating 2-1 loss to Sheffield United.
Facing an early setback with a goal from Brennan Johnson, Wolves orchestrated a turnaround at Molineux. The spotlight fell on Sarabia, who, after being subbed in, netted a remarkable equalizer courtesy of a well-executed pass from Matheus Cunha. Sarabia further showcased his skills by providing an exquisite through ball, setting up Mario Lemina for a 97th-minute winning goal.
The victory, well-earned after the earlier setback, garnered praise from Shearer, highlighting Sarabia’s significant impact on the match and earning him a spot in the Premier League Team of the Week.
Alan Shearer hails Pablo Sarabia for his impact for Wolves against Tottenham
Sarabia has seen minimal game action this season.
However, after witnessing the ‘unbelievable’ player train well last week, O’Neil opted to bring him on for the final stages against Spurs.
It paid off for Wolves, with Sarabia’s goal of great quality. After the game, pundit Joe Cole stated that ‘only quality players’ can do what he did.
Sarabia has finally received some recognition from Shearer, who has named him to his latest Premier League Team of the Week.
“What an impact!” he commented of the Spaniard (official Premier League). Created the winner with a spectacular equalizer.”
Sarabia was not the only commentator to be included to Shearer’s newest Team of the Week. Garth Crooks of BBC Sport chose the 31-year-old as well, calling his goal “memorable.”
Sarabia offered reminder of his quality vs Spurs
This season, Pedro Neto and Hwang Hee-chan have been the center of attention at Wolves. Gary O’Neil has hardly deviated from the combination in the wide areas, and they have been absolutely fantastic for him.
As a result, Sarabia has received little attention.
But he reminded everyone on Saturday what a talented player he is.
So far, things haven’t gone well for him at Molineux. Perhaps he hasn’t yet discovered his most effective position. Perhaps he is still adjusting to English football.
His goal and assist against the Spurs demonstrate that he has a lot to contribute and is clearly someone to keep an eye on.
