Wolves boss Nuno hails players' spirit after Crystal Palace point

Wolves boss Nuno hailed his players' spirit for their 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.

Diogo Jota's dramatic stoppage-time equaliser rescued a point for Wolves at Crystal Palace.

Leander Dendoncker's own goal had seemed certain to give Palace victory before Jota's late strike for the visitors, who had Romain Saiss sent off for two bookings.

Wolves boss Nuno said: "This happens in football. The spirit of the team - we have it. First half was really good. When we speak of mistakes, it is from both sides. I am not happy with that. We controlled and dominated the game. When we have it so well we must punish. We speak about what can happen, with the reaction of Palace.

"We risk everything. Palace had chances and we made saves. It is not the game we like to see. But we had a lot of heart and character. More with the head, though.

"We know what the situation is. We have to play Thursday and Sunday and manage the game. We wish it to happen."

On Romain Saiss' red card: "First one I am not sure. Second one was close to me and the referee decided. The VAR also. If they see it clear they have to decide.
