Wolves boss Lage: Worst performance of season

Wolves boss Bruno Lage says defeat to Brighton was the worst performance of the season.

Bright on cruised to a 3-0 win at Molineux.

Lage said, "When you come from this performance that we gave for the 90 minutes, there's nothing much to say. We didn't come to play, we just watched Brighton play. They deserved the three points because they played better, especially in the second-half, when they were winning 1-0, and we didn't have the ability to play our game.

“The opportunity that we have in our hands to get to the better positions, that is why it is difficult to explain. When you go for 45 minutes and concede two penalties, the first one was a handball, it can happen, but the second one was just a run in behind and one more time a penalty.

“I changed to be more aggressive in front because 1-0 down would give us nothing, and we really didn't change too much. All I can say is that it was 90 minutes that we just watched Brighton to play. It was the worst performance since the first day."

He continued: “They have a good style of play also and in the first-half it was a calm game from them, they didn't create too many chances, like us, but they had the penalty. In the second-half, they were much better and credit for that.

“After we gave them the spaces and they scored goals. They dominated the game because we offered them more spaces. But when you look at the game, they were hard goals to take. Credit to them, they played, they win, they created chances and they scored goals, and for us, it's just a game to watch because it was 90 minutes that we didn't play."
