Vitor Pereira made it seven points from a possible nine, as Wolves drew 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur.
Wolves continued their good form under the new manager, mounting a comeback against Spurs down in north London.
Hwang Hee-chan gave Wolves the lead after a well worked free-kick.
But the hosts got their noses in front, with Rodrigo Bentancur and Brennan Johnson both scoring later on in the first-half.
Johnson’s goal came after Jose Sa had made a penalty save from Heung-min Son. Most felt that justice was done, because the challenge from Andre on Johnson wasn’t a foul.
Sa came in for praise from Pereira after the game, and the Wolves manager also shared how he can tell the Portuguese has personality.
Pereira praises Jose Sa after performance for Wolves against Tottenham
The goalkeeper situation at Wolves has certainly been a point of interest this season.
Currently, Sa has the number one shirt, after losing it when Sam Johnstone first came in from Crystal Palace.

But Johnstone has failed to impress, and Sa has played all of the games Pereira has been in charge for.
And seemingly, Sa is appreciated by Pereira – even though he did nearly give his manager a ‘heart attack’ at one point during Sunday’s game with Spurs.
Pereira said: “Fantastic save on the penalty. And after, he tried to get me a heart attack with a bad control! But you know what I like is that, when I do a mistake, I cannot keep my mind in the mistake – I must react.
“After a few seconds, a long ball in the space and he went there to control the space. It means that he reacted after the mistake. For me, this is important, because he showed personality.”
Jose Sa has responded well to Pereira’s arrival
There’s been a lot of talk around the messy goalkeeper situation at Wolves this season, but Sa has responded well to the new manager’s arrival.
It would now be no surprise if Pereira stuck with £7 million signing Sa for the foreseeable.
The 31-year-old has started the Pereira era pretty well so far, having made nine saves across Pereira’s three games – one of course being from Son’s penalty on Sunday.
We know Sa can be erratic sometimes.
But fans have often seen him come in clutch over the past few years, and Pereira seems to be taken by Sa’s personality.
It remains to be seen what will happen with Johnstone – surely, he can’t be too happy about the situation having joined the club in the summer for £10 million.
