Wolverhampton Wanderers crept up the Premier League table as they continue to go under the radar this season.

Nuno Santo's side now sit in eighth, having defeated local rivals Aston Villa 2-1 at Molineux on Sunday afternoon.

Another player that continues to thrive under the Portuguese boss is Adama Traore, and it's about time his exploits are highlighted as he's quickly becoming one of Wolves' most valuable players, even amongst the likes of Raul Jimenez and Joao Moutinho.

Although those in the west Midlands will probably want his and their own season to continue to go unnoticed.

There's no hiding that Traore has long been a figure that divides opinion for Wolves - he has often been blasted by fans as such against Southampton last season, but he has also been praised at times, as seen after his brace against Manchester City this campaign.

The crux of his doubts have always come down to his perceived lack of end product. Danny Higginbotham's pointed it out. Traore himself has even mentioned it.

But it is about time that gets banished once and for all, especially after his role in their win on Sunday afternoon.

Per SofaScore, the 23-year-old registered ten successful dribbles, recorded one key pass and managed one tackle. He even won a monumental 15 of his 20 duels, both on the ground and aerially.

No player in the Premier League has completed more take-ons in one match than the Spaniard this season.

Traore also provided the assist for what would be the winner when he cut inside, beating Douglas Luiz, to fizz a ball into the path of the Mexican striker, who duly dispatched in the 84th minute.

It is now five assists and two goals in 20 appearances, which is good enough for most, let alone for someone who is meant to have 'no end product.'

He was that good against Villa that Matt Targett could barely handle him as he had to be substituted after suffering from double vision.

Imagine seeing two Traore's accelerating past you when one was bad enough.
