Jota insists Wolves flying high despite run ending

Wolves star Diogo Jota believes the team is still high in spirit, despite losing their unbeaten run against Tottenham last weekend.

Even though Nuno Espirito Santo's side were impressive against Spurs, their 12 game unbeaten run was shattered by a late Jan Vertonghen winner.

While the players were disappointed to lose in such a manner, Jota insists they are still in good spirits.

"Being so long without losing gave us a lot of confidence, we trust each other. I think we did a very good game, one of the best, and we didn't get the result," said Jota to reporters.

"It's always hard when you lose, but I think there is a lot of positive things to take from this game.

"We can't concede that goal, the corner in the final minute, but we will improve on that and the next game is to win.

"We saw the way they celebrated the win after the final whistle. I think it meant a lot for the team to come here and win. In the end, that shows that beating us is not an easy thing.

"The other teams, when they are able to do it, they are very pleased. It's not easy because we lose, but we are confident to go to the next one to win."
