Better to be lucky than good. In Julen Lopetegui’s debut in the Premier League, it appears we might have a manager who is both. The Spaniard’s pedigree was beyond question before we finally landed him in November, the evidence of which could be seen in a late change in formation that stymied Everton in the […]
Wolves 1 Nottingham Forest 0
