WOLVES’ SPIRIT OF SANTO

It’s been six long seasons since Wolverhampton Wanderers last tasted Premier League football. After their promotion to the top flight was confirmed with four matches to spare, they enjoyed a 2-0 home victory against fellow Midlanders Birmingham. “We will celebrate together,” manager Nuno Espirito Santo said at full-time, after receiving the obligatory bumps. “Today is the first time I’ll let them drink beer in the dressing room.” The days of successive relegations are over.
