News about Nelson Semedo

Wolves pulled off a brilliant result on Sunday with a 1-1 draw against Manchester City to take just their second point of the season - but they had to withstand immense pressure in the second half.  Jorgen Strand Larsen gave Wolves a dream start to the clash at Molineux, Nelson Semedo putting a fantastic ball across the six yard box from out wide which the Norwegian forward latched onto with aplomb.   Josko Gvardiol then drew the visitors level with a sumptuous strike from outside the box - City's seventh of the season already - on 33 minutes to get his side back into the tie. 

DOMINIC KING AT THE MOLINEUX: Liverpool have jumped to the top of the Premier League after a 2-1 victory against bottom of the table Wolves on Saturday night. Liverpool looked comfortable at 1-0 after Ibrahima Konate opened the scoring, before the Frenchman made a needless mistake to allow Wolves to pull level through Rayan Ait-Nouri. Wolves themselves made a needless mistake when Nelson Semedo gave away a penalty for having his hands all over Diogo Jota inside the box. Mohamed Salah put Liverpool back in front, and though they were far from convincing in their display, they took three points to jump to the top of the table.

Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday night with a deserved 2-1 victory away at Wolves. The Reds had briefly been replaced at the summit by Arsenal, who beat Leicester 4-2 earlier in the day. However, Arne Slot's men moved a point clear of both the Gunners and Manchester City thanks to goals from Ibrahima Konate and Mo Salah at Molineux Stadium. Konate headed Liverpool into the lead in first-half added time before Rayan Ait-Nouri hit back for Wolves against the run of play in the 56th minute. But Wolves were level for just five minutes as Mo Salah restored the away side's lead from the penalty spot after Nelson Semedo had fouled former Wolves star Diogo Jota.

Euro 2024 is now days away and managers from the 24 teams have named their final squad list. With over 600 players across Europe set to feature at this year's European Championship. Here is a breakdown of every Premier League player appearing at Euro 2024 by club.

There is a Featured RequestABet and multiple Price Boosts available for today's Premier League clash between Manchester City and Wolves at the Etihad. The RequestABet needs Kevin De Bruyne to have 1+ assists, Nelson Semedo to commit 2+ fouls and Manchester City to have eight or more corners. The odds for that particular bet are 8/1. De Bruyne assisted both goals in City's 2-0 win at Forest last Sunday, while Semedo committed three fouls against Luton last time out.

Wolves supporters thought their side has earned at least a point when Hwang Hee-chan netted 20 minutes from time at Molineux on Wednesday night, only for the goal to be ruled out after a VAR review. Hwang headed in from Nelson Semedo's cross, but Attwell (left), after being recommended to double check the build-up at the monitor, blew for a foul by Matheus Cunha on Justin Kluivert (right), ruling out the goal and equaliser.

TIM NASH: Wolves are poised to play a 15-year-old schoolboy against Arsenal on Saturday after he skipped a science lesson on Friday to prepare to face the Premier League title challengers. Right back Wes Okoduwa would become Wolves' youngest player at 15 years, 344 days, with the hosts having only 10 fit senior outfield players. Craig Dawson, Nelson Semedo, Matheus Cunha, Pedro Neto and Jean-Ricard Bellegarde are all out, Hwang Hee-chan and Rayan Ait-Nouri aren't fit enough to start and Mario Lemina and Pablo Sarabia are nursing knocks.

Semedo, a Wolves defender, sank the Coventry midfielder in the 74th minute with a horrific high boot. O'Hare needed medical attention, but the referee did not even give a warning because Semedo's indiscretion was not punished, and he was not disciplined.

DOMINIC HOGAN AT MOLINEUX: Fulham came within inches of ending the 39-year winless league record at Molineux on several occasions, but the Wolves came up to eighth after a 2-1 victory. After Pedro Neto limped off the field and straight down the tunnel just before the break, the hosts had flying full backs Rayan Ait-Nouri and Nelson Semedo to thank, both defenders netting in the second half. Fulham forced Jose Sa into two big stops late in the game, but the hosts held on, with a late strike by Alex Iwobi. What an O'Neil consists of.

O'Neil's red card had no grievances, but the Bees should have had two players suspended, according to O'Neil. Gomes was given his marching orders after only nine minutes for chopping down Bees captain Christian Norgaard. However, O'Neil referred to a similar challenge from Mikkel Damsgaard on Tommy Doyle, which was unpunished. Brentford's Keane Lewis-Potter should have been suspended for grabbing Nelson Semedo in a stoppage-time brawl, according to O'Neil.

Fans took to social media to condemn Fulham's 3-2 victory over Wolves on Monday. During the tumultuous Premier League match, Michael Salisbury was awarded three points, prompting Wolves boss Gary O'Neil to state that his team was seven points worse off this season due to poor VAR decisions. After the match, Salisbury admitted to O'Neil that Nelson Semedo's challenge against Tom Cairney, which resulted in Fulham's first penalty, should have been overturned by VAR.

Michael Salisbury of Referee told manager Gary O'Neil that Fulham's call to award a penalty had been reversed by VAR after Nelson Semedo's fair challenge to Tom Cairney was overturned by VAR. Fulham Carlos Vinicius and Tim Ream should have been dismissed by PGMOL executives, the former for a headbutt and the latter for a foul in the box. After a string of mishaps this year, O'Neil was upbeat, and it seems his players are swollened.

PATEL AT CRAVEN COTTAGE: After losing to a penalty penalty at Craven Cottage in another game marred by VAR drama, Gary O'Neil maintained that Wolves are seven points worse off this season. In the second half, three penalties were awarded, two to Fulham, and O'Neil admitted that in a long post-match session in the referee's room referee Michael Salisbury admitted that he made a mistake for the first Fulham penalty, which was given after Nelson Semedo trapped Tom Cairney on the outside of the box. 'He (Salisbury) doesn't think the first one is a penalty because he believes he should have been sent to the (VAR) screen and he might have deleted it from the pictures we saw together in his room,' said O'Neil.'

There's a lot of money on for this match between Fulham & Wolves at Craven Cottage, with two 'Price Boosts, a 'Scorecast Boost,' and a 'Double Up Boost' available with Sky Bet. We'll be first looking at the two price boosts for this fixture, including 'Hwang Hee-chan's to have two or more shots on target at 11/2, and the 'each team's to have 2+ shots on target in both half's at 9/2. In seven of his last 12 appearances for Wolves across all leagues, Hee-chan has made a shot on target.

Firstly, the two price increases are for Sky Blues midfielder Phil Foden to score or assist, and City's star striker 'Erling Haaland to score a hat-trick'. Both bets are priced at evens and 11/1 respectively. Foden has scored or assisted in his last two appearances in all sports, while Haaland has scored a whopping 18 hat-tricks, the most recent of which came against Fulham earlier this month. 'Haaland will have three or more shots on target, Nelson Semedo will be carded, and the City will have 6+ corners at 16/1,' according to Elsewhere.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT OLD TRAFFORD — Just 18 months have passed since Wolves' most impressive start to the Premier League in 2018, when Joao Moutinho's goal gave them a 1-0 victory over Old Trafford on January 3, 2022. However, goalkeeper Jose Sa was one of only three players to be named in Gary O'Neil's first starting lineup last night, despite the fact that such has been the case at Molineux. That evening, Max Kilman and Nelson Semedo, along with Moutinho, Ruben Neves, Raul Jimenez, and Conor Coady were all on duty.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: The three words that terrify virtually every top-flight club right now are 'financial,' fair' and 'play,' and 'play'. Wolves is the newest club to find themselves in a stalemate with Premier League budget policies. Wolves haven't stifled their transfer spending, rather than halting them. They have swung into an emergency stop, leaving boss Julen Lorenzo uncomplained and supporters restless with fewer than three weeks to go before their campaign against Manchester United starts on August 14. Lochiegui has expressed his 'deep disappointment' at Wolves' lack of wriggle space in the market, as he did in May. The Spaniard talked to Guillem Balague's Pure Football podcast: "We went to a plan B, trying to find cost-effective players, but we can't implement this strategy." We lost a lot of players, and the club seems to want to sell more players.

There is a lot of pressure on the officials to make the major decisions right in the most dramatic Premier League relegation battle in recent years. The weeks ahead will determine whether they're up for the challenge. Many people will recall it if a refereeing mistake cost Arsenal or Manchester City the title, but it won't make a difference to either team's financial situation or their employees' livelihoods. That is not the case in the relegation fight, where dropping into the Championship means losing out on hundreds of millions of pounds in television income. Competence is the minimum that these clubs can hope for.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT MOLINEUX: In the most exciting Premier League relegation contest in recent years, there is a lot of pressure on the officials to make the right decisions. If they are up to the challenge, the weeks ahead will determine if they are up for the challenge. Everyone will recall that if a refereeing mistake cost Arsenal or Manchester City the title, but it will not make a difference to either club's financial situation or their employees' livelihoods. That is not the case in the relegation fight, where dropping out on hundreds of millions in television income means you will miss out on hundreds of millions. Competence is the least that these clubs can hope for.

After being left furious by Wolves' humiliating loss to fellow relegation candidates Leeds, Julen Loegui is running out of patience with Premier League referees. During his time at the club, the Wolves' manager believes that his team has consistently been on the wrong end of refereeing calls. Wolves coach Edu Rubio and club secretary Matt Wilder requested an audience with referee Michael Salisbury following the game.

Barcelona has been dealt a blow in their hunt for a new right-back, with Juan Foyth unlikely to join the club in the summer. Since Dani Alves left the club in 2016, the Spanish giants have been looking for a long-term replacement, but they have failed to find a suitable replacement for the Brazilian club legend. Nelson Semedo, who is now with Wolves and Sergio Dest, has been on-loan in Serie A with AC Milan, despite unsuccessful signings. Sergio Roberto, an academy product, has yet to have a problem. Jules Kounde is the club's first choice right-back, but the French star's first choice right-back is to play as a central defender. President Joan Laporta of Barcelona declared this week this week that a natural full-back will be targeted this summer.

SAMI MOKBEL: After impressing boss Erik ten Hag, Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka is now expected to remain at Old Trafford this month. As a result of Wan-Bissaka's re-emergence, the Old Trafford club has shed interest in Wolves' right-back Nelson Semedo. Former Wan-Bissaka of Crystal Palace was expected to leave United this month, but reports have said the club was not keen to part with him. The defender, it is expected, would have been keen to leave the club as well. However, he has been a vital role since the World Cup, and it is now likely that he will remain with United. Since the beginning of Qatar 2022, he has made five appearances for United, four of which have started. It's unclear how often he plays, but first-choice right-back Diogo Dalot is 100% fit.

In the third round of the FA Cup, Liverpool and Wolves played out a tense 2-2 draw on Saturday night at Anfield, with the match being replayed at Molineux. Darwin Nunez scored his tenth goal of the season on his first appearance, expertly assisted by Trent Alexander-Arnold on his 250th appearance, while left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri ran the show for the visitors in a lively fashion. After an embarrassing blunder in the 26th minute that allowed Goncalo Guedes to score for the visitors, and Wolves' equalizer was culpable in a game that saw a late game decided by a controversial VAR decision.

With a victory over League Two Gillingham, Wolves advanced to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. In their first competitive game since the World Cup break, they were made to work for their victory as they attempted to defeat Gillingham. Raul Jimenez was able to convert from the penalty spot before Rayan Ait-Nouri sealed the victory in stoppage time.
