After his side fell just short of Champions League qualification last season, Nuno Espirito Santo outlined his vision for how Wolves would change in 2020-21.
He promised more possession, more goals and a style of play that did not rely so heavily on counter-attacks.
In the first half against Crystal Palace, Wolves started to produce what Nuno wants as they moved level on points with league leaders Everton heading into the weekend.
In the closing stages, referee Martin Atkinson checked the pitch-side monitor before showing a straight red card to Luka Milivojevic for a studs-up tackle that caught substitute Joao Moutinho flush on the ankle.
