Bruno Fernandes speaks to Sky Sports

No, we’re not relieved. It was important to start the season with a win, and we showed great fighting spirit. It wasn’t our best game – we know that – but we did the most important thing by winning the game.

Wolves have quality. We didn’t know what to expect [tactically] because of the change of manager. It was about adapting on the pitch. At times we pressed well but we should have been more aggressive at times.

At times we were a little bit rushed on the ball and our timing on the counter couldn’t have been better. It wasn’t a perfect game but we won.

[On the goal] It’s the kind of movement we practise in training. Obviously we don’t train for Rapha to be in the box! [Wan-Bissaka] made a great movement, I had to find him in behind the defenders, and he made a great cross to Rapha.

Starting with a win gives you confidence. We have to be ready for the next game [Spurs away]. It will be a difficult one, as always in the Premier League.
