Virgil van Dijk reaction: ‘You have to find a way to win – that’s important’


On a hard-fought three points…

Yes, definitely. I think unfortunately we conceded the goal quite early on (in the second half) and that gives them a big boost and some momentum for them to crack on. I think we played a very, very good first half and (scored) two good goals. (In) possession we were good, defensively we were solid and (had) no problems. Obviously they would come out with a lot more pressure (in the second half) and we have to try and do the same things, which (is what) we said at half-time.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t do that, but obviously that’s also part of how Wolves did that. Overall, we found a way and that is key, especially in the season and in the moment where we are and where we have a lot of injuries and players missing. It’s not an excuse for the second half, but obviously it’s good that we got the win and that’s very important.

On the importance of scoring two goals in two minutes…

100 per cent. But obviously like what I said, in the first half they didn’t press as high as they did in the second half, which obviously was going to be expected because they’re 2-0 down. In the first half I thought we did very well and that’s something we should build on.

On having to dig deep as a squad to find results recently…

You have to find a way to win and I think if you look at the season it’s been up and down. There’s been good games and unfortunately some bad games. Then you have to try and do everything and fight for every second on the pitch. I think you can see that, not only today, but over the last couple of games that we really want to get the wins on the board. Today was a good one.
