Wolverhampton Wanderers secured an early lead against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, with Rayan Aït-Nouri playing a crucial role in the opening goal.
The match, part of the Premier League’s 19th round, saw Wolves make a quick impact, with Aït-Nouri assisting Hee-Chan Hwang within the first seven minutes.
The goal came from a well-executed free-kick routine, where Aït-Nouri delivered a precise ball into the box for Hwang.
The South Korean forward’s composed finish, a cross-shot, left Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario with little chance to react.
This marked Aït-Nouri’s second assist of the month and his fourth of the season, having now featured in 18 Premier League games.
The 23-year-old Algerian left-back has been in impressive form this season, contributing directly to seven league goals—three goals and four assists.
This level of performance already surpasses his output from the previous campaign, when he registered just two goals and one assist from 33 Premier League appearances.
Aït-Nouri’s growing influence in Wolverhampton’s attacking play has been a standout feature of the season, helping Wolves maintain their competitive edge in the league.
His partnership with Hwang and his ability to deliver key assists have proven invaluable to manager Gary O’Neil as they push for better results in the Premier League.
As the season progresses, Aït-Nouri’s form will be a crucial element for Wolves’ hopes of climbing further up the table.
His development as both a defensive and attacking asset has seen him emerge as one of the club’s key players, and fans will be eager to see how his performances continue to shape their campaign.
