Wolves matchwinner Diogo Jota: We're going for seventh place

Wolves matchwinner Diogo Jota says they're going for seventh place after victory over Watford.

Jota created Raul Jimenez's opener before scoring himself for the 2-1 win.

"We competed hard in the FA Cup semi-final for a spot in the final, the game went for them in that day, but it wasn't like a revenge today, it was just one more game," said Jota.

“We are shoulder to shoulder to fight for the seventh place, so it's a great result in their house."

On his assist for Jimenez and his goal, the striker contined: “When I received the ball from Ruben (Neves) I looked to the air and I saw Raul there alone, and I just tried to take my opponent out of the way and the cross went perfect and it was a good goal for us.

“Ruben made a great pass, but we know what he can do. Fortunately for us the goalkeeper tried to anticipate the cross but this time he couldn't, and I was faced with and open net. All I needed was the perfect touch and the ball went in."
