Bristol City manager Lee Johnson 'very proud' in Wolves defeat

Bristol City manager Lee Johnson says he's "very proud" of his players after their FA Cup defeat to Wolves.

On 28 minutes, Ivan Cavaleiro stroked home the only goal with the game's first shot following good work by Matt Doherty down the right.

Johnson said, "I think we had the chances to pull it off. We just couldn't get it over the line.

"I was very proud of the second-half performance. We have to remember where we've come from. Wolves are seventh in the Premier League, so for us to perform the way we did in the second half after a very mediocre first-half performance - the boys deserve credit for that.

"We needed to apply more pressure [after half-time] so we changed our system a little. I thought we pegged them back in the second half.

"I'm hurting because we wanted to progress in the competition. But we showed our identity in the second half and there will be many more big games like that between now and the end of the season."
