Wolves striker Raul Jimenez was delighted to prove the matchwinner against West Ham.

Raul netted the only goal of the game to secure three points at home to West Ham, handing him his third goal of the season.

The 30-year-old put in a stellar performance and has begun to hit his best form since returning from that life-threatening injury a year ago.

When asked if every goal he now scores is special, Raul said: "Yeah it has to be, after what I lived last year.

"I know I have to enjoy football more, and when we win and when I score. Everything.

"It's really good and really special to be here at home and scoring."

Raul believes the squad's hard work in training paid off.

"It's good to be here back at home and bouncing back after our last game in the Premier League that we lost," he said.

"We knew that we know how to play and are a good team, so we are competing to win the games.

"We had good opportunities and worked hard during the week.

"I only worked yesterday but all the other players have been working good all week and that's what gave us the good things to compete in this game.

"We knew how they play and how we have to play, to be ready."
