Wolves boss Bruno Lage was delighted with their win over Southampton at St. Mary's in the Premier League on Sunday.
The away side had to take some punishment on the defensive end, but held firm and won the game through a superb Raul Jimenez goal.
As the Mexican forward notched his first goal since coming back from a skull fracture, Lage praised the whole team for their effort against Southampton.
"We tried to play the way we want to play," Lage said, per Express and Star.
"The changes I did to the team were to have more of the ball. We saw what Southampton did against Man City and Newcastle and they are a good team. What Ralph (Hasenhuttl) did in his three years here is very good.
"When you play against this team, they have the ball and come with a big intensity to press high. We tried to do little things different and get Joao and Leander to find spaces in between the lines. That's why Daniel and Hwang started, to have more of the ball.
"The first 45 minutes we managed the ball and were solid and after found the right spaces to create our chances. We started with a good chance from Semedo.
"The plan was to keep the ball and wait for our solutions. We need to understand the spaces the opponent gives. The team were clever to understand that and which spaces to go to attack.
"It was a good result for us, three good points. We are happy with that.
"These three points go straight to our fans because the way they supported us from the first minute was very important to stay the 90 minutes with personality.
"They are a hard team to play against and it's a very hard stadium to come and win the three points."
