Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo praised 'special' striker Raul Jimenez after the forward maintained the club's Champions League charge.

The Mexico international's second-half header secured a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth at Molineux.

Wolves are sixth, just two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea who now have a game in hand, and they travel to Stamford Bridge on the final day of the season.

Jimenez's 15 league goals is also the most by a Wolves player in the top flight since John Richards scored 17 in 1975-76, leaving Nuno impressed.
