Adama Traore scores absolute rocket volley for Wolves against Preston

Adama Traore lashed in an absolute worldie strike for Wolves in their 2-1 win over Preston on Tuesday night.

Raul Jimenez put the hosts 1-0 up at Molineux and performed one of the celebrations of the season when he dressed up as a pirate.

The celebration, which included an eye patch and hook, was a reference to teammates calling him a "pirate" following his shocking head injury suffered in a collision with David Luiz in 2020.

And Traore extended Wolves' lead in the 29th minute in stunning style with an thumping volley. The Spain international picked up the ball on the right flank and played a one-two with right-back Nelson Semedo.

The powerhouse's pass was a firm one and had a serious bit of zip on it. But Semedo killed the ball dead with a lovely touch and then cushioned the ball off to his teammate with a deft flick.

From the lovely set-up, Traore nearly broke the net with a venomous left-foot volley in what was his first goal since returning from a loan spell at Barcelona.

The net-buster of a strike had all of Traore's weight behind it and proved unstoppable for Preston goalkeeper David Cornell. Fan footage shows what a thunderous effort it was from Traore, who looked like he might be on his way out at Wolves.

Hwang Hee-chan spurned the chance to make it 3-0 to Wolves and the second half was made a little more nervy for Bruno Lage's side when former Liverpool starlet Ben Woodburn reduced the deficit just after half-time.

Wolves held on for their first win of the new campaign and will now look to kick on with three points against Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday.
