Neves scores stunner as Wolves close in on Premier League return
London: Ruben Neves's 30-yard wonder-strike was the highlight of Wolverhampton Wanderers' 2-0 win at home to Derby County on Wednesday, a result that left the Championship leaders on the cusp of promotion to the Premier League.
Wolves now need just two more points to assure themselves of a return to the lucrative English top flight — something they will achieve if they beat Midlands rivals Birmingham City on Sunday.
But if other results go their way, Wolves could have their promotion confirmed, and a six-year absence from England's top division ended, before they next kick a ball in anger at their Molineux ground.
Defeat left Derby fifth and in the play-off places, with only the top two teams at the end of the regular season guaranteed a Premier League place next term.
