FT: Wolves 2-1 Liverpool
Wolves manager Rob Edwards speaking to BBC Match of the Day, on his celebration: “It’s the groin this time, I felt it falling apart. It’s a nice feeling, a nice moment again.
“The lads are doing really well, we are competing and improving and that’s all we can ask at the moment. You have to against a team like Liverpool – brilliant manager and players, against the champions you have to be good, carry out the game plan, be resilient, maybe moments of luck along the way. All that was needed, a bit of quality at the right moments which we showed.
“The way our games are going we seem to improve and get stronger in the second half. We need to make sure, especially against top teams, we are in the game. 0-0 we’re happy at half-time, then we are able to open up a bit, a bit of pressure comes on the opposition, they open up and it suits us.
On the performance of goal-scorer Rodrigo Gomes: “The impact form the substitutes was excellent, brilliant finish, brilliant hold up play and the timing of the pass. The finish was excellent under a lot of pressure from [Liverpool defender Ibrahima] Konate.
“It’s a great moment for him, we had to win the game twice in a way. If there was going to be one more goal in the game most would bet on Liverpool. Full credit to the lads for keeping pushing and believing.
“We are in a really difficult position at the moment so we are trying to win every game. At the moment we look a good team. We are just trying it improve and get better every game, working in training. At the moment we are competing with everyone, taking points off top teams.
“It was a difficult spot at the time [when he took charge] it’s taken a while to change things and go in the way we wanted. We probably forgot how to win and how hard you have to work to win. The lad are showing that now.”
