Wolves boss Mick McCarthy was delighted with their performance after victory over Fulham.

Kevin Doyle opened his account for the club, having joined from Reading for £6.5million in the summer, before David Edwards added a second just after the interval.

Fulham captain Danny Murphy scored a penalty midway through the second half but the Cottagers' increased pressure after that came too late to force an equaliser.

"We won't win anything if we don't work hard," said McCarthy.

"I thought it was a really good performance. We were energetic, we closed them down and pressed the ball really well.

"Having seen them play last week (a 2-1 win over Everton) I thought we handled it well and we only really suffered when we gave the penalty away.

"I think we were just starting to get a bit leg-weary and then it became nervy."

Although Doyle will grab the headlines with his first goal, McCarthy singled out centre-back Christophe Berra - whose flick-on set up the Irishman's goal - for particular credit.

"It was a good team performance. There have to be a lot of good performances for us to have won that game but I thought Christophe was a difference class," he added.

"I believe he got man of the match, he'd have got my vote. In the last 10 minutes when they were throwing balls into the box he headed everything."
