Nuno hails Doherty performance for Wolves FA Cup win

Wolves did enough to beat Bristol City and reach the FA Cup quarterfinals.

After a quiet opening, Ivan Cavaleiro stroked home the only goal with the game's first shot following good work by Matt Doherty down the right.

Wolves boss Nuno said afterwards, "I'm very happy, it was very tough, but I'm happy for the fans and it was a moment of joy.

"We try to find solutions, but it was hard when they put so many behind the ball and with long balls into the box all the time.

"In the first half they gave us space, we had space and the chances to score, but then they changed it and they are a tough team.

On Matt Doherty's performance, he added: "He's fantastic, he has a big heart, he goes up and down and doesn't rest. He does an important job for us.

"We are very happy with him, it was a big challenge to prove himself in the Premier League and he is doing ever so well."

And on hope for the quarterfinal draw, he said: "I would like to play at Molineux if I could ask for something."
