It has been a good weekend for Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Matt Doherty.

Indeed, the 27-year-old signed a new long-term contract with Wolves before starring in their 1-0 win over Bristol City in the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.

Doherty provided the assist for Ivan Cavaleiro to register at Ashton Gate, and the Portuguese's goal decided the fifth-round contest.

The assist was Doherty's seventh in all competitions this season, with two of those coming in the FA Cup and five in the Premier League.

There is absolutely no question that the Republic of Ireland international is enjoying a fine campaign.

And therefore it was not a surprise when a whole host of Wolves fans took to social media to lavish praise on the 6ft defender's recent performance.

Wolves have a number of talented footballers, but few have made a bigger impact than Doherty during the 2018-19 campaign.
