Wolves manager Nuno: We climbed a mountain for Man Utd draw

Nuno Espirito Santo says Wolves climbed a mountain to earn a draw with Manchester United at Molineux on Monday night.

The Red Devils dominated the first-half but could only enter the break one goal ahead thanks to Anthony Martial.

Ruben Neves grabbed an equaliser for the hosts after 55 minutes, and Nuno was proud of his players for their resilience.

He told Sky Sports: "It was good. First half Man Utd dominated. It was a big mountain to climb and it was fantastic work. The tempo, intensity, the pressure - very good work.

"They are such good players and pressed us very high and didn't allow us to get out. Second half we played more in the space and controlled he game.

"It was a big game of emotion and it is what Molineux enjoys."
