Wolves captain Mario Lemina spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live after victory against Southampton: "We have been struggling a lot since the begining of the season to try to find a way to win games. Sometimes it comes from scrappy games like that where you have to be resilient.

"The first half was really tough but we stayed together and really fought hard. At the end of the game when you feel this kind of resilience you desrrve the points."

On nervousness in the crowd: "Of course you feel it. Every time we have conceded in the last few weeks we heard it and we wanted to reverse it by getting the clean sheet. It was even better for the confidence to get it.

"After the international break we will come back to the league with a positive result. We are unbeaten in three games now and we take that forward. It is really good for us."

On Matheus Cunha's goal: "They are the type of players, the creative ones, who have to keep calm and trust the team and when they get the ball they have to show that they are the best on the pitch. What he is doing right now is amazing."
