He also has four assists and has created four big chances.<\/p>\n<p>Boss Gary O\u2019Neil said: \u2018When I arrived I didn\u2019t know too much about him and I was told that maybe he wasn\u2019t reaching the levels the club would expect of him.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We are only six games into the league season but he has fully bought into everything we\u2019ve asked \u2013 the way he trains, plays within the shape and takes information on board. He is incredibly talented and physically very gifted as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/11\/75777645-12554649-image-a-1_1695550144077.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Pedro Neto scored a stunning goal on Saturday as Wolves drew 1-1 with Luton<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/11\/75777739-12554649-image-a-2_1695550201730.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>It comes after a frustrating run of knee injuries that meant he played just six games last season\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Can he add more goals? Probably, especially when he plays on the right and can come inside on his left foot. He has been absolutely incredible during my time here.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Ricner Bellegarde faces possible disciplinary action from the club after receiving a straight red card for kicking out at Tom Lockyer in the first half \u2013 in only his second game for Wolves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After Neto\u2019s strike, Carlton Morris\u2019 penalty earned Luton their first point of the season. But Wolves were furious with the award, for handball against Joao Gomes.<\/p>\n<p>Boss Rob Edwards said: \u2018Everyone can stop talking about Luton being the only team not to have any points. We&#8217;ve got that off our backs.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We were a small club in the Championship and we got promoted so we are going to be a small club in the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We are going up against mammoths, giant clubs.
