Wolves boss O'Neil on victory at Bournemouth: First time facing ten men for me

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil admits victory at Bournemouth was a learning experience.

With Lewis Cook's dismissal, it marked the first time O'Neil had coached against a team with ten men.

He said, “It's my first time as a manager playing against ten men. We moved a few things around, and I thought we got some joy.

"It's difficult to score and Bournemouth will be disappointed with the second goal I'm sure, to turn the ball over with ten men, similar to what we did at Luton with ten men. We were camped, we were knocking, we looked like we might be able to create something, and it was a fantastic pass and fantastic finish.

“I thought we were the better side with 11 versus 11 and 11 versus 10. We've been on the wrong end of red cards and they're difficult. You know how difficult it can be to break teams down, but the lads showed a good understanding of trying to get the ball wide and arrive with bodies in the box."
