Wolves boss Nuno thrilled with fight-back at Southampton

Wolves boss Nuno was thrilled with their 3-2 win at Southampton.

Mexican striker Raul Jimenez scored twice as Wolves magnificently came from 2-0 down to win at in-form Southampton.

Nuno enthused, “The way we are this season, we must have a reaction within the competition, which is very hard when you are 2-0 down because you cannot abandon your tasks. The boys believed because this is the game, this is why we love football, it never finishes until the end.

“Even though we started well, the first time they went to goal, they scored. With bad defending they scored and pressed really hard and didn't allow us to play. The reaction was good, and this is what it's about, reacting, knowing what's wrong. I'm very proud of them because it's been tough, but we had character.

“It was amazing the second-half. We realised the first-half was not good and we reacted very well. I'm very proud of the players. I was proud even in the first-half because the effort was there.

“In the first-half Southampton were much better than us. They pressed very hard. They were very organised, and the moment of pressure was very strong, they are very aggressive. In the second-half everything can change, and we saw today and it's a fantastic win."
