Jorgen is a dream to have in team - Vitor

WOLVES manager Vitor Pereira heaped praise on goalscoring hero Jorgen Strand Larsen as the Norwegian striker continues to be linked with a big-money move away from the club.

With Newcastle having had a second, improved bid of £55 million rejected as the Alexander Isak saga drags on, Larsen showed what he can do with a quickfire brace to seal a 3-2 comeback Carabao Cup win against West Ham to record Wolves' first victory of the season at Molineux.

After a tame start, the home side went into the break a goal to the good. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was tripped by Guido Rodriguez and while Hwang Hee-chan's 43rd-minute penalty cannoned back off the inside of a post, Rodrigo Gomes squeezed in the rebound.

Tomas Soucek’s far-post header levelled it five minutes after halftime from a swirling Kyle Walker-Peters cross and with Wolves' pressure proving fruitless, the unmarked Lucas Paqueta headed in from close range Jarrod Bowen's drilled centre from the right touch line in the 63rd minute.
