Wolverhampton Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo has praised his players following their fourth round Carabao Cup loss to Manchester City.

The Championship leaders took their Premier League counterparts all the way to a penalty shoot-out after no goals were scored from 120 minutes of play.

He said: "I'm proud of the boys, proud of the fans and proud of the way they performed for the result on 90 minutes and 120 minutes. Then it is a moment of luck, but well done to us.

"It's a competition where we wanted the whole squad to play and we made nine changes. We have to focus on the league. The next game against QPR is our focus.

"The first half was not so good, but the second half was very good. We had possession of the ball, clear chances and one v ones against the goalkeeper. Well done.

"In extra-time also, we were always in shape, always balanced and the boys really worked hard."
