Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui was delighted after their 1-0 win against Tottenham.

Adama Traore struck the winner for the hosts.

Lopetegui said, Always the three points are very, very important. In the last match against Liverpool, we couldn't get any points, and we were disappointed, but today we are very happy. I have to be honest to highlight the Tottenham work, in the first half they overcame us for me clearly. The second half we came better, we tried to work on the difficulties.

In the end we won, but it was a very balanced match, very hard, as are all the matches in the Premier League. That's what I want to highlight to the team in the bad moments, it's important to keep going, keep working, and think of the next match. We have a lot of points ahead of us to get.

We have played against one of the best teams in the Premier League. I am happy with the reaction of the team and with their resilience in the bad moments, because we have had a bad moment in the first half when they pushed us a lot, but we were able to overcome this bad moment with fantastic work, so I am happy.

Always the football is for the players. The manager, we want to help them and sometimes we help and sometimes we don't help. This is true. That's why I prefer to highlight the resilience and the mentality of the players. They have kept going with this mentality and continue because today it's three points.

Three days ago, we were really sad, today we are happy, and we have in front of us a lot of very difficult matches. We are now thinking about Newcastle who are one of the best teams in the Premier League, so this mentality has to continue."
