Wolves 2-0 Aston Villa

Premier League match report: A crashing drive from Jean Ricner-Bellegarde after a sweeping move across the field looked to have been enough to decide this game, only for Matheus Cunha to make it safe for Vitor Pereira’s side with a fabulous solo goal in added time. Paul MacInnes reports from Molineux …

Vitor Pereira: "For everyone, we are happy"

“I’m very happy and very proud,” says the Wolves manager in an interview with Sky Sports. “We played a tough game. Tactically we played with quality. We played as a team with true spirit, working together and suffering together. I’m very happy. [It was an] important game not only for the three points but to break this [losing streak].

“We know this kind of team [Villa] will come strong and try everything. We organised the block. A clean sheet for us. For everyone we are happy. We know it’s a long way, a difficult way. With our supporters and this spirit we can do it.”

On the disallowed Villa goal: “It was a block on our player. In the moment it looked offside. I was calm.”

Reader, he was emphatically not calm.
