Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves was delighted with his role in their victory over Arsenal.

The midfielder put his team back on level terms against Arsenal from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time before Portugal teammate Joao Moutinho's thunderous strike secured Wolves first top-flight win of 2021.

He told the club's website: “It feels amazing. It's really hard when we try everything we can to win and the results have just not been coming.

“We knew we needed to improve our game a lot, because we were struggling a little bit, but today, we finally get the three points. We're still not on our best form, we still need to improve, but these three points mean a lot for us.

“At home, against as big a team as Arsenal, who were in good form and were playing really well, they were a huge three points."

Neves added: “It's really good for us that we talk, but we've been talking a lot during these last games, because it's not been easy to play, to do everything we can and not get the results when we were in really frustrating moments.

“The last few games have not been easy for us. We've tried our best to get the points, but we did not get them, so today, we wanted to play well, but mainly we wanted the three points and it didn't matter how we played.

“But it's good that we played really well. We were struggling a little bit at the beginning of the game, but that was about our confidence, we need to get that confidence back and today we got the three points, so we can start doing some good things in the Premier League."
