Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui was left delighted after their 2-0 win against Brentford,

Diego Costa and Hee Chan Hwang fired the old gold to success over the Bees on Saturday at Molineux.

Lopetegui said, "Always we are happy with wins because we need a lot of wins to achieve our aim. Today was a very difficult match, it's not easy to win two matches consecutively at home. After we played against a very hard team, away one of the best teams in the Premier League, and I think we've won a good match.

We suffered in the moments we had to suffer, but we deserved in the end to win against a very good team. Three points more, we continue, we need more points in front of us to achieve our aim, so we have to be ready.

Diego is working. He has helped the team and the squad, sometimes on the pitch, sometimes the bench. Sometimes out of the squad list, it has happened. He's here to help the team, help the club, and he's very important. Today fortunately he has scored, he's deserved one goal, but after, despite the goal, he's played a very good match, with the ball, without the ball. I'm happy for him, of course, but above all for the team.

He's coming here to help, he's important, and he's working hard to have his chance to play. Today he had it. He has scored, but I think he made a very good match despite the goal. It's important for him and for us."

Lopetegui admits he'll be taking his players for dinner after their clean sheet.

He added: I'm very pleased to take my players for a meal, of course. It's a good investment for me, for sure. It's a good thing for them, but me too, because with a clean sheet you are closing to winning each match."
