O'Neil proud of Wolves in Man Utd defeat

Wolves manager Gary O'Neil praised the fighting spirit of his team against Manchester United.

The Midlands club were beaten 4-3 by the Red Devils at home on Thursday night.

Despite equalising to make it 3-3 in 90th minute stoppage time, Wolves conceded minutes later and lost the game.

On the fight-back from 2-0 then 3-1 down, O'Neil told reporters: “I was proud of what they produced. Effort, quality, togetherness. Loads of it. Bundles of bundles of it.

“But I was disappointed with some of it. The first half got away from us and we didn't really stick to what we do, we were aggressive and left ourselves far too open and got punished.

“But the second half was an incredible performance. I thought we were excellent and completely dominated. We had complete control apart from a couple of counter-attacks from them, so it was just a couple of details really.

“But we learn from every time we work together, every time we play, there's things we can learn."
