Wolves boss Bruno Lage was delighted with his players for victory against West Ham.
Raul Jimenez struck the decisive blow after linking up with Daniel Podence.
He said, “I think it was another good performance from our side. What we did in the first-half was very good, we controlled the game since the beginning and when you play against a team like West Ham, you have to be careful about two things.
“First the strategy was to control every time the runners on our backs, especially when we start the game – they have big players who do that very well, the way they attack, they are very aggressive in that situation and don't lose the ball, especially in the middle, because the three midfielders are very strong, doing that king of pressure in the middle. They are very fast to go in the transitions and all the players did everything we planned, so I'm happy."
On Raul's special moment, he continued: “I'm happy with him. He's a lovely guy. He deserves everything that happens now in his career. Even now we can see the documentary about him, what he passed in the last year, and he deserves everything.
“We started the goal from the goalkeeper Jose Sa and that's the dynamic I want to create in this team, and that's the way we need to play with the ball, so we can control more of the game. After one year waiting, working hard, but I'm very happy with the whole team for the goal. Two or three hours finish and put your mind for the next game against Norwich."
