Raúl Jiménez made a notable return to Wolves by scoring a penalty in stoppage time, securing a draw against Blackburn Rovers in their Championship opener. The penalty was awarded for a handball by Rayan Alebiosu, and Jiménez's goal marked his first since rejoining the club after a previous spell. Despite the late equalizer, Wolves faced challenges throughout the match, including an early lead by Blackburn and defensive vulnerabilities.
The match highlighted the difficulties Wolves may encounter this season, especially under new management. While Jiménez's return brings hope, the team's performance raises questions about their strategy and ability to compete effectively in the Championship after a nine-year stint in the Premier League.
Jiménez's late penalty offers a glimmer of hope, but Wolves must address defensive frailties to avoid a challenging season. Fans should monitor Peixoto's tactical adjustments and player performances, especially as they face tougher opponents ahead in the Championship.
