The goalkeeper played a starring role to preserve all three points, diving to his left to save Brennan Johnson’s penalty 11 minutes from time at a crucial stage of the game. Wolves had dispatched a spot kick of their own through Ruben Neves earlier in proceedings, before Sa’s heroics confirmed a second Premier League win of the season. Steve Davis’ side had to dig deep for the points and Sa hopes that fighting spirit will breed confidence to go on and produce another positive result in the next match.
