Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves delighted with victory over Crystal Palace

Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves hailed their form at home in recent months.

The Molineux Stadium has proved decisive for Wolves as they have cleared any danger of relegation.

A 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, who are also relatively safe, has all but ensured Wolves will play in the Premier League next term.

"We thought a lot about this game. We've been in good form playing at home, so we wanted to continue that," Neves told the club's website.

"We spoke a lot before the game started, a massive game for us, that it was really important for us in our fight.

"But it's not done yet. We still have five games to play. Anything can happen in the Premier League but this one was, of course, really important.

"I speak a lot with other players from other teams and they say it's really hard to come here and play because the atmosphere is, for me, one of the best in the Premier League.

"It's really hard to come and play at Molineux, we know that, and we need to use that and enjoy that on the pitch - that's what we wanted to do.

"Three wins at home from the last three games, so really good for us, really important for the league.

"There was a bit of pressure in the second half from Palace, they have a lot of talented players so it's really hard to play against them.

"We kept our goal safe and then at the end was really important, Pedro Neto ran to press and fortunately we scored the second."
