WolvesTallies assist
Gomes assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Monday's 2-2 draw versus Brentford.
Analysis: Gomes was able to log an assist despite not providing much service, so he's a bit fortunate in that regard. He will likely have more chances to set up teammates against West Ham on Friday. The Hammers have given up 55 goals on the season and are in the relegation zone after the latest match day.
Scores goal in win
Gomes scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 2-0 victory versus Aston Villa.
Analysis: Gomes broke the deadlock just past the hour with a thunderous strike that smashed off the underside of the crossbar and in, flipping the script of the match in Wolves' favor. It marked his first league goal of the season and completely shifted the momentum. Beyond the goal, he imposed himself in midfield with relentless intensity as Wolves won the key duels against Villa, adding one tackle, one interception, one block and three shots (one on target).
Starts Wednesday
Gomes (undisclosed) is in the starting squad for Wednesday's clash with Everton.
Analysis: Gomes returned to contention quickly after dealing with a knock during the week. He'll consequently keep his central midfield spot over Andre. While he's rarely involved in the score sheet, Gomes will try to produce through passes and defensive stats going forward.
In contention after knock
Gomes is an option for Wednesday's match against Everton after he was forced off at halftime of the club's last outing, according to his club.
Analysis: Gomes had been dealt a knock in the club's first win of the season last time out but has already recovered it appears, as the midfielder has trained and is in contention again. He will likely still go through some testing ahead of the game to make sure he is fit, although he will be expected to return to a starting role. He has only missed two starts all season when fit, still yet to record a goal contribution in 19 appearances (17 starts).
Clears suspension
Gomes is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.
Analysis: Gomes has served his suspension due to yellow cards accumulation in the Premier League and is set to return in the next contest. The midfielder has been an undisputed starter in the heart of the game for the Wolves and should return directly to the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Arsenal.
Picks one match suspension
Gomes will serve one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the Premier League.
Analysis: Gomes accumulated five yellow cards in the Premier League and will be suspended for the clash against Manchester United on Monday. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been an undisputed starter in the midfield for the Wolves, with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde as the main option to replace him due to the doubts on Marshall Munetsi (undisclosed) and Ladislav Krejci (knee). Gomes will be back available for the clash against Arsenal on Dec. 13.
Logs first shot on target
Gomes recorded one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 77th minute.
Analysis: After playing as a sub for back-to-back matches, Gomes has now started in two consecutive games. He recorded his first shot in three outings, while the shot on target marked his first of the season. This also marked his second consecutive outing with over 35 completed passes, but he has not accounted for a chance created in his last four appearances.
Five crosses in loss
Gomes recorded two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus Sunderland.
Analysis: Gomes contributed offensively, attempting two shots for only the second time this season, creating one chance and recording a season-high five crosses. Defensively, he made three tackles, winning all of them, and added three clearances. In his last five games, he has won at least two tackles in each match.
Wins two tackles Saturday
Gomes generated two tackles (two won) and one clearance in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 39th minute.
Analysis: Gomes had a pretty quiet outing Saturday as he did not record any stats on the attack. On the defensive end he won two tackles, made one clearance and won two duels. He was subbed off in the 64th minute for Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, marking the first time this season he did not complete the full 90 minutes.
