João Gomes scored at 16 minutes into the second half with a rocket inside the box

Wolverhampton (ENG) continues to fight against relegation to the second division of English football. Last Friday (27), the club defeated Aston Villa (ENG) 2-0 at home, with a stunning goal from João Gomes, formerly of Flamengo.

At 16 minutes into the second half, João Gomes received a pass inside the box and didn’t think twice. The former Flamengo midfielder fired a rocket and opened the scoring for the home team. The play drew attention in England.

Wolverhampton then extended the lead. Forward Rodrigo Gomes scored at 53 minutes into the second half, taking advantage of Aston Villa’s disorganization. With this, Wolves reached 13 points and remain in the fight against relegation to the second division.

WHAT IS JOÃO GOMES’ SITUATION?

João Gomes is expected to remain in the top leagues of European football, even if Wolverhampton is eventually relegated. That’s because the former Flamengo player has attracted interest from clubs such as Manchester United (ENG), Tottenham (ENG), and Napoli (ITA).

AND FLAMENGO?

On the other hand, Flamengo, João Gomes’ former club, remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. That’s because the red-and-black team will face Madureira on Monday (02), at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), in the Campeonato Carioca.
