Walter Zenga: Wolves' attitude fantastic

Two goals from Joao Teixeira - his first for the club - put Wolves 2-0 up shortly after half time, but Zenga's team had to withstand some nervy late pressure after Sullay Kaikai had pulled one back for the Bees.

Record signing Ivan Cavaleiro sealed victory in the fourth minute of stoppage time, also registering his first Wolves goal in the process to seal a hard-earned win.

And Zenga said: "I enjoyed it because we approached the game very well, even in the first 10 minutes we played with too many long balls - it's not our style or system.

"Then the attitude of the team was fantastic.

"We take a lesson from Burton (who scored a 90th minute equaliser), we take a lesson from the last 15 minutes against Barnsley (who won 4-0 at Molineux) and we have to continue in this way.

"Don't forget where we have come from and where we want to arrive.

"The fans continue to push the team, this is what I like.

"It is a long season and we don't want to forget that if everyone pulls together we can arrive where we want to be.

"This is what we insist in our work - we have to be compact. Here it's written that the strength of the wolf is in the pack.

"If they write on the wall why not transfer this idea onto the pitch?

"It is an important three points against one team that came off a good result and had been playing well for three or four games. They are very organised and I like this team.

"It was not easy for us to approach this game. In the end the three points are very important, they give us consistency.

"The fans love when the teams play football and the fans love when the teams run and puts the attitude in on the pitch and work hard.

"We have to be 100 per cent."

Wolves were denied what looked to be a clear first-half penalty when Teixeira was fouled in the box.

Zenga was furious at the time and said of the decision: "The problem is that some episode can change the game.

"The player that makes a foul should receive a yellow card - and 10 minutes later he makes one other foul and it's another yellow card, 10 on the pitch.

"But this is a part of the game. But it was clearly a penalty."

The three points lifted Wolves to eighth in the Championship table, outside of the play-offs on goal difference, ahead of Newcastle's early-evening trip to Villa.

But Zenga insisted he wasn't interested in where Wolves were.

"I don't want to read the ranking until December and then we will talk. I don't know where we are now. Honest."

On Wolves' promotion prospects he added: "I don't know where we can arrive. I think we have to fight for something, believe in something...just one objective, very important.

"I don't want to stay in the middle of the ranking (the league) without a chance.

"You have to believe in your chance."
