Adam Lallana was thrilled to contribute with a rare goal in Albion’s 3-2 victory over Wolves.
The midfielder’s early strike was his first for the club since he netted at home to Leicester City in 2021 and he then provided the assist for Kaoru Mitoma to equalise before Pascal Gross got the winner seven minutes from time.
“It was a lovely move,” he said. “Leo set me up and I hit it early. I don’t get too many these days so it was nice to see it go in!
“Back-to-back wins in the Premier League are massive for any club at any time. We started the game incredibly well but then I think we maybe took our foot off the gas a bit and perhaps got a little complacent and found ourselves 2-1 down.

“Luckily [Kaoru] Mitoma got a deserved goal, I thought he was fantastic throughout the game and then Pascal [Gross] finished a great move in the second half.”
Lallana is loving life under Roberto De Zerbi, having been involved in Albion’s last five games.
“I really enjoyed myself. I’ve got into a rhythm at the moment, the manager has given me freedom to play. It was always going to take some time for the manager to get his ideas across but we’re making progress, although we just have to take it game by game and focus now on Arsenal on Wednesday.”
