Wolves boss Nuno: Victory over Crusaders very special

Wolves boss Nuno was pleased with their 2-0 win over Crusaders.

Wolves achieved a first leg victory over Crusaders in Thursday night's Europa League qualifier. Diogo Jota and Ruben Vinagre were Wolves' goalscorers.

Nuno said, "What's really special is to be back at Molineux. It's amazing, it's fantastic. When it's in a European competition for the first time in 40 years, it's even more special. I'm really proud to be part of this group.

“It was a special night for Molineux, the atmosphere was good, we are back in Europe and we want to improve."

He added: “We controlled the levels of anxiety because it's tough, especially at this moment of the season, we want to go fast and solve the problems, but it's difficult because they were organised, so it required a lot of effort."

Nuno also admitted Ruben Neves is struggling after collecting a "knock".

"He's struggling. He took a knock, he's in pain now, so we'll take care of him," added the manager.
