Wolves boss Bruno Lage says Luke Cundle deserved his start for victory over Tottenham.
It marked the youngster's full Premier League debut.
Lage said, “The kid started playing with us since the first day and I can see since the first day good things about him. Today, the plan was to play with four midfielders, and I looked for the kid because I had this plan and he gave me that option.
“His teammates, they have a lot of confidence in him. They see these details things in training. When you have top players with the confidence to pass the ball to him because he doesn't lose the ball. If they feel this confidence, it is easier for me to put players like him in the game.
“That's also important for young kids. Maybe he deserved his chance earlier and could have got more minutes in the Premier League, but when you have your chance you need to say 'I am here' and he did.
“Today he was very good but now for Luke, it's about continuing to train, work hard and the most important thing is the confidence he can give to us."
