The Portuguese was in the right place to benefit from a fortunate ricochet and put his side in front with his fourth goal in old gold, and second against the Baggies. Although the 18-year-old believes it should have been enough for all three points, rather than one, he was impressed with the overall team performance, which was much improved on last time out.
On a point on derby day
“I think the team deserved more, for what we did in the game. I think the team played good with the ball and improved on the last game with Burnley, which is the most important.
“When you have a bad result and have the capacity to improve, it’s congratulations to the team. I think the team went well from when the coach spoke with us in the week, and I think we deserved more from this game.”
On the nature of his goal
“You have to believe. When you are a striker, you have to smell the goal. I believed the ball would go in and I’m happy to help the team, it’s the most important.
“Not only the goal, about what I did in the game, my movements helped the team, this is the most important and I’m very happy to help the team. The goal is important because I’m a striker and it gives me confidence, so I’m so happy.”
On scoring in Black Country derbies
"I do everything to score every game, not just this game, but it is a special game for the fans I know and I'm very happy to help the team. You have to do more things in a game to help the team and I think its the most important for my movements to help the team with the ball or without the ball. I'm very happy to score."
On what Wolves did well
“It was better how we played with the ball. I think the team played so well with the ball. We controlled the game well, made West Brom run and combinations, going either side, I think the team in this aspect did so good.”
On handling the wet and windy conditions
"It's crazy because sometimes the weather's sun, sometimes the weather's snow. It's crazy to play like that, but we have to play what the conditions and now you have the sun, you have the snow. But I think that the most important is what the team played today. The team played good with the ball, I think its important."
