The winger, who switched with Adama Traore from the left to the right in the second period, put in a stunning performance to inspire Wolves to victory and scored an exquisite winning goal which he hopes he can carry on as Wolves host Leeds United on Friday night.
On improving in the second-half
“We did poor in the first-half, in terms of how Wolves play and being aggressive. They were above us in winning the duels and being aggressive, but in the second-half we did a good response and we played like we always want to play.
“But then we speak in the locker room at half time and we say that we have to improve on these terms. I think in the second half it was the most important.
“We did a very good job as a team. We worked harder than them in the second-half, winning the duels, having quality in the game. In the first-half I think we start better, but then we went down a little bit. In the second-half, we stayed high all the game and we did very well.”

On the changes the were made at half-time
“If you noticed, we changed a little bit of our way to play; Adama was to the left side and I went to the right side to play more inside, it was more tactical. In terms of being aggressive and winning the duels, that was the most important thing in the second half, like they did in the first-half.
“We know to win this game, we had to improve, because they were winning the duels. They were being more aggressive than us, and like I said, I think it was the most important in this game.
“Winning the duels, the second balls, and then we had the quality in the second-half and we scored two goals and we are very happy.”
On his winning goal
“Ruben passed me the ball and then I remember that Ruben was asking me for the ball back, because he always does, so I give the first touch behind.
“Then I saw that I didn’t have space to pass to Ruben, and I check on the guy and I did a good goal.
“I am very happy to be scoring and I have to thank my team-mates for their work. I know that it’s not been our best season, but we are trying to work and do a second half of the season that we won’t forget because we want to do better.
“I have to thank my teammates because the goals and assists I get are from them, and we are very happy.”
