Nuno 'very, very satisfied' as Wolves defeat Burnley

Wolves did enough to defeat Burnley 1-0 at Molineux on Sunday.

After the hosts dominated large periods of the first half, Raul Jimenez deservedly opened the scoring for the home side on the hour mark as he turned in Matt Doherty's cross.

The Clarets rarely threatened, with the only real chances they created falling to Johann Berg Gudmundsson late on.

Defeat for Sean Dyche's side means they have equalled a club-record run of four consecutive Premier League losses.

Wolves boss Nuno said, "I am very, very satisfied. We played good football and stayed organised and created chances. Burnley are a good side and stayed in it until the end.

"If there is a 'but', we could be more clinical. But if we can continue to make these many chances, it makes me very proud.

"After we scored we conceded more space. But this will come. We kept a clean sheet which is important for us. It is there. It will come naturally.

On facing Manchester United next, he added: "Now we will rest then focus. It will be a tough game but we will enjoy it. We will go there to compete like we always do."
