ImpactLemina began Saturday's match in the Wolverhampton Wanderer midfield before a second half substitution saw the veteran slide back to take up a role in central defense. Lemina's adaptability catalyzed the box-to-box performance that included a shot on goal, three crosses (two accurate), two tackles (two won), three interceptions, three clearances and a single block. The veteran's ability to play in multiple positions make him an invaluable member of the squad, as evidenced by his 45 appearances (43 starts) in all competitions with Wolves, dating back to the beginning of the 2023/2024 season.
