Wolves boss Gary O'Neil was happy with his players in defeat at Aston Villa.

O'Neil praised the effort shown in the 2-0 reverse.

He said: "Really disappointed with the result, we didn't come here to lose. Performance wise, they gave loads. Higher possession, higher xG. You add Pedro Neto, Cunha to that xG and I'm sure it would have mattered. We take it on the chin and we get ready for Tuesday.

"We end up 1-0 down and it relieves pressure around the place even though we were having load and loads of joy. It's one we have to take and get ready for Burnley.

"Some big moments either end, two of theirs go in and ours didn't. I can only ask them to give as much as they did and they did. We can tidy up on some of the goals. In terms of the team and giving everything, they did that.

"Cunha is doing great, miles ahead off schedule. He wanted to be involved today but we needed to be steady. Pedro is more serious. When they come back they'll give some real attacking threat the boys already available."
