Wolves boss Nuno admits they need to find better consistency in their performance after defeat to Manchester City.

Raul Jimenez's header had given Wolves hope after Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden had put the visitors two goals ahead in the first period, but City were comfortable 3-1 winners with Gabriel Jesus putting the game beyond the hosts.

Nuno said, “At this moment, the feeling is that what we did in the second-half, we should have produced and sustained throughout the game.

“This is the challenge for us; we must start better the games and sustain this level of performance and intensity, but they were a very good team with a lot of quality.

“We knew it was going to be tough, but the first-half, we didn't start very well. Man City moved the ball very well and created a lot of problems.

“But even in the first-half, we had good moments, a good spell, good possession that we managed, and then we concede a penalty. From then on things become harder.

“The second-half, we were much improved, and we found the right way to press, to recover the ball, and we created a lot of good moments and chances that we could have scored.

“We knew that one goal could change everything, and that was what the belief was in the second-half. It was a very good second-half for all the team."

He added: “We need to build on the good things that we did. The result cannot stop us from going in this direction.

“We want to improve our game, and I take positives, but at the same time, to play good, and perform well, we need to defend better."
