Dave Edwards: Dream start for Vitor Pereira gives Wolves a platform to build from
It was a dream start for Vitor Pereira after his first Wolves win in his first game in charge.


I thought it was a perfect fixture first up - being away from home was a good thing.
I don't want to do Wolves a disservice because of how well they played in the game, but I think it is a very poor Leicester team - and I will be very surprised if they do not finish in that bottom three.
You can only perform against what you are up against, and they certainly did that on Sunday.
There were some real noticeable changes to the style of play from what he have seen consistently under Gary O'Neil.
There was a lot of control that Wolves had in the game, and they were clinical as they capitalised on big moments at the right times.
The control was very pleasing, they did not get dragged around too much. They did not leave big open spaces for Leicester to attack, which they have been guilty of in recent weeks.
It was a game where a lot less emotion was on display - but I mean that in a good way. We have seen how much emotion has been running through the veins of these players in recent weeks, but this was a much more calculated performance.
They were good at defending set pieces, they defended their box well, and they kept Jamie Vardy quiet - he had a few chances but nothing massive.
It was very comfortable, and Wolves did not have to get out of second gear all that much.
They started with a 3-4-3 formation, which I think is going to be the way Pereira is going to go moving forward.
What was really evident was the two players in front of the back three - they hardly ventured away from that middle part of the pitch.
On the whole, Joao Gomes and Andre really protected the back three. They did not go and press high up the pitch, they were in a mid-block, and the game in between the lines was very small.
Nuno Espirito Santo is doing a great job at Nottingham Forest, but this was a performance Wolves used to produce under him regularly.
They have been wide open at times this season, and they conceded so many goals, but they looked back to being hard to beat.
When they won the ball back, they attacked quickly, and I have said all season that Wolves have got players who can score goals.
It was a top top away performance - everyone will be delighted at the training ground this week knowing they have done their jobs. But they are still in the relegation zone, and they need to build on it.
Manchester United at Molineux is up next - that will be a great atmosphere given it is the new boss's first home game, and it is a later kick-off.
That game is always a special one, and I expect Wolves to be right in that clash.
They will need to follow that up away at Tottenham. It sounds like a difficult game, and Spurs have had their own problems with the lack of players of late. It is set up for Wolves to be difficult to beat and to play on the counterattack.
They will just be hoping and praying they have all the players available to them as they are still waiting to hear back what Matheus Cunha's punishment will be. He is so important for Wovles that he will be a big loss.
