Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Marshall Munetsi ended his maiden English Premier League season on a memorable note, netting a brilliant goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers in their 1-1 draw against Brentford on the final day of the campaign.
The Zimbabwean international, who joined Wolves from French side Stade de Reims in January, made just his 14th appearance for the club on Sunday. However, he made it count, cancelling out Bryan Mbeumo’s first-half goal with a rocket from outside the box at Molineux Stadium.
His powerful strike not only levelled the score but also capped a strong personal finish to the 2024/25 season. Wolves ended the campaign in 16th position on the table, comfortably avoiding relegation.
