Wolves boss Nuno: We needed unique approach to beat Leeds

Wolves boss Nuno admits they had to draw up a unique approach to defeat Leeds United on Friday night.

Adama Traore's rocket off a shot from distance which cannoned off the crossbar and hit Leeds keeper Illan Meslier before tricking over the goalline was the difference in an evenly-fought contest at Molineux, but Nuno believed his side deserved the fortune they received.

Nuno said, "Every game and every team in the Premier League has their own details. But what Leeds have is unique and challenges all the managers in the league. But in the end, I truly believe that in all the games we have to challenge ourselves because something new is going to happen and you have to face it.

“They have a unique approach to the game, but sometimes leads you to the same intensity in the duels and the boys did well. That's the game of football, it's your idea against your opponent's idea and for some moments we were stronger, but Leeds also had chances and created real problems.

“We know how many goals Leeds have scored this season, and it required hard work in our defensive aspects, but that starts in the attack, with a press, not allowing many spaces, but even then, Leeds created us immense problems and good chances.

“It was a very good game of football. I am really pleased with the attitude of our players. The way we approached the game, the way we compete, so well done, but let's keep on working."
