Wolves attacker Hwang Hee-chan scored with a very ‘clever’ finish according to pundit Ashley Williams.
Wanderers took all three points against Burnley on Tuesday night at Molineux, with Hwang grabbing the only goal of the game.
The South Korean scored his eighth Premier League goal of the season, and his sixth in the league at Molineux.
The star is in truly stunning form right now, and is bound to be attracting some attention for what he is contributing.
His goal was brilliant – and Hwang came in for a bit of praise on last night’s Match of the Day…
Hwang Hee-chan praised for ‘clever’ goal for Wolves against Burnley
Wolves did well to get the goal they did against Burnley, having been poor for most of the half.
Mario Lemina pressed Sander Berge high and forced him into a heavy touch. Pablo Sarabia collected the loose ball and found Matheus Cunha, who then played in Hwang.
Hwang was in space, but a defender was getting back ready to make a block.
Rather than pull the trigger straight away, Hwang just delayed slightly, which created a bit more space for him to find the bottom corner.
It was a finish that impressed Michael Owen on the night on Amazon, and Ashley Williams also appreciated the goal. He said on Match of the Day: “Lemina has pressed him (Berge) there. They’re winning it in Burnley’s 18-yard box, it’s a clever finish from Hwang.”
A superb finish from Hwang
This was a lovely goal from Hwang, because it would have been very easy for him to snatch at the shot.
Burnley players were getting back in to defend, and a lot of players would have tried to take the shot as quickly as possible.
But £30,000-a-week star Hwang showed brilliant composure. He could see the need to delay for a split second to create that space and give himself a better chance of scoring.
This is not the first time we have seen Hwang make a really smart decision to score a goal. Against Newcastle, he was played in by Toti Gomes and he might have shot first time to the near post, but he chopped inside and left Dan Burn sprawling, before finishing.
Gary O’Neil has talked up Hwang’s intelligence before and that is certainly clear to see.
