The main player was Hwang Hee-chan. Hwang started as a forward striker for Wolverhampton.
He worked diligently moving back and forth between the two sides throughout the game. When he had the opportunity, he displayed tremendous presence in the offense, connecting with shots himself and showing off plays in conjunction with Adama Traore and Rayan Aitnuri.

Hwang Hee-chan, dubbed the "Master of Folding". A single fold completely took away the timing of luton town defenders and goalkeepers.
And the shot that he hit was hit by a defender and shook the net. It was Hwang Hee-chan's 11th goal in the Premier League this season and his first goal in four months.
Since then, the two teams have exchanged one goal each. Ultimately, Wolverhampton won 2-1. After seven Premier League matches, Wolverhampton has risen to 10th place. Luton Town is ranked 18th in the relegation zone.

In January and February, he was unable to play due to the transfer of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, and when he returned, chronic hamstring injuries hampered him.
He came back from a long break against Nottingham Forest on the 13th. Since then, he has increased his playing time again and improved his condition. It was a shame to cancel the score against Bournemouth. In the 20th minute of the second half, Hwang Hee-chan jumped up and shook the net with his head, but it was canceled when his teammate's foul was revealed in the previous situation. Still, he showed a smooth development until the score, so he expected a good performance against Luton.
Wolverhampton manager Gary O'Neill also said, "We need to upgrade Hwang's physical condition. If he showed little by little what he can do today, he will not be back to his old self. He should do better." Naturally, he gave Hwang a chance by starting the match against Luton.
Hwang Hee-chan proved that his thighs were fine with full 90 minutes. In addition, he showed off his excellence in his ability to break down the opponent's back space by accelerating depending on the situation. Even in the 20th minute of the first half, when Wolverhampton had to take the lead, he dug well in line with his teammate's penetration pass and made a one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
At first, zero was not caught. The first shot was blocked and he tried again with a header, but he was blocked by the defense. Still, Hwang Hee-chan changed the atmosphere at once, and he soon had a great chance again.
In the 38th minute of the first half, he personally broke the balance. This provided a good glimpse into Hwang Hee-chan's talent. Holding the ball to the left of the penalty box, Hwang displayed calm movement with Gabriel Osho in front. He beat Virgil van Dijk, the world's best defender, and created a shooting angle with unique folding that has established itself as a talent. Then, he quickly placed the ball low with his right foot to shake the net.
This is the first goal scored in four months in the Premier League. Hwang Hee-chan enjoyed the long-awaited 11th goal of the league by performing a far-fetched ceremony of putting his right hand on his forehead in front of his home fans. Through this goal, Wolverhampton also gained the upper hand and gained confidence to win.
He also rushed to the right side in the second half. Hwang Hee-chan rushed to the right side in the third minute of the second half, and seized the ball by forcefully pressing the defense inside the penalty box.
