Wolves captain Ruben Neves hailed the manner of their stunning win at Everton last night.

The Goodison Park win was particularly significant, as it took the old gold off the Premier League table.

On a first win for new manager Julen Lopetegui, Neves said: “It felt amazing for us. It means a lot. For us as a team, for the club, and the fans as well. It was a great restart in the Premier League for us and we just want to keep on going. A lot of things to improve, a lot things to work on, but it was a very good game for us. It's a really hard stadium to play at, against a really good team. It was amazing for us to come and earn three points.

“A win's a win. Of course, you feel it a lot more when you win like this, but the win is the main thing – it was our main target for the day. We did it well. A lot of moments we need to improve, but as a team we did well and we handled Everton's pressure. They're an intense team, very physical, but we controlled it well. Mistakes here and there but it's a hard place to come and play and we deserved the win.

“It was amazing. It means a lot for us because we're worked really hard during the month to come back to the Premier League as fit as we could, as motivated as we could, so it was really important for us to win three points. It was a final, every single game will be a final for us now, so we are just thinking of the next one."
