Raul Jimenez was again on the scoresheet as Wolves defeated Bournemouth on Saturday.

An early goal from Raul Jimenez and a late strike by substitute Ivan Cavaleiro handed Wolves the three points.

Following wins against Chelsea and Newcastle in the past 10 days, it is the first time since March 1980 that Wanderers have recorded a trio of consecutive victories in the top division.

Wolves boss Nuno stated afterwards, “The boys playing in this weather, in the rain, and how hard it was, I'm very proud of them today. They did a fantastic job because we have to adapt to the realities. We were versatile enough to realise that today was about defending and counter attacks - exploiting our talent to achieve what we achieved today, a deserved win.

“The organisation, the shape and how compact we were. We didn't allow too many situations to Bournemouth, who are a fantastic team and played very well. Always trying to help our team mates is what defending is all about. There were not many chances, it was very hard for both teams. They matched us in shape, it was a tough game. We are happy but credit to Bournemouth, it was very difficult."

On third win in a row, he added: “We achieved a third win, but it's not over, we have to go again. Before we were in a bad moment, now we're in a good moment and why is important to recognise. Their character, the way they commit themselves to the work on a daily basis and to the competition so well done.

“I'm very proud of the work we do every day. The character took us out of the bad moment. The only secret is work, we have to work hard. We do the same things, we were committed and football is like this. It's life, sometimes you have bad moments, sometimes you have good moment. Rising up, reacting and bouncing back is what I'm most proud of."
