Wolves boss Nuno 'very pleased' after Adama winner: A unique talent

Wolves boss Nuno says his players should celebrate last night's win at Fulham.

A late Adama Traore goal earned the points for Wolves.

Nuno later said, “It was a very good goal. Adama's speed and finish gave us a win I think we worked very hard for. I saw the ball inside, knowing it was the last moment of the game, it's always good to be on this side, it happened before with us on the other side, and it's tough, but when we are happy, we have to celebrate – it means a lot for us.

“I'm very pleased. Adama is unique. He played in a different position, he played on the left and went to striker. He worked very hard and with his speed and talent, he can really punish teams.

“It's difficult for him to find spaces because the opponents, their immediate reaction is to foul him, to disturb him, but it was a good finish, so let's hope he continues, not only finishing but assisting, he must improve on a lot of aspects of his game."

Pedro Neto was forced off with injury, though Nuno is confident it isn't serious.

He added: “It was impossible for him to continue, he's been struggling with this problem for some time, many players that we have have a lot of problems, let's hope this long week allows us to recover the players and go again.

“Let's see how he is. It's been tough moments, we were not able to settle down the team, always having players with knocks, but let's see how he is and let's try to recover him."
