Wolves boss Rob Edwards spoke to BBC Match of the Day after his side's draw to Everton: “Once Jack Grealish gets sent off and we’re playing against nine men, I thought we played into their hands. We needed more direction. We needed to put crosses into the box from different places. We pushed. It’s progress still. With 11 men, we got back into it with a great goal.

"They're good in transitional moments but I think we showed we have a few who can handle it as well. I think both were looking jaded. It's been a busy period. We started flat.

"We need to try to find a way to get back in the game and Jordy [Strand Larsen] did that straight away. I felt Andre would give us more energy and fresh impetus. Credit to them.

On Mateus Mane: “He had to dig in today. You could see he wasn’t 100% in terms of his energy but he has got some energy. We have to make sure we look after him now.

"We want to try keep this momentum going."

Wolves goalscorer Mane spoke to Sky Sports: “It was an amazing feeling. We deserved the three points. We’ve got to keep working and we go again on Saturday in the FA Cup.

"They had two red cards so we thought to attack them and put balls in the box. We did that but we were just unlucky not to get the goal.

On what Rob Edwards said at half-time: “He told us to keep going and the ball will come. He said work, run, attack.

"I feel like I had space between the defenders. I took a touch and slotted into the bottom corner.

"I'm not scared of anyone, I deserve to be here and I'm now I'm proving what I can do. He tells me to express myself and be brave one-on-one.

"We'll fight and whatever happens, happens. We want to stay in the Prem because it's the best league in the world."
