Wolves boss Rob Edwards, spoke to BBC Match of the Day after his side's defeat at Manchester City: “The timing of the two goals didn’t help. That made it a difficult start for us. Coming here they can starve you and suffocate.
"We kept fighting in the second half and we were really pushing to get back into the game. There was a lot of things to take from there but ultimately it was a loss. They got the two goals but ultimately we limited them to very little. We are going up against one of the best teams and away from home as well. We pushed right towards the end. We showed a lot of good character and quality as well."
On referee Farai Hallam sticking with his initial decision after being sent to the screen to review a handball by Yerson Mosquera: “He showed a lot of good character there. I think he made the right decision. My frustration is the fact that it got to that stage in the first place. I think the guys in the VAR studio should be thinking he is in a natural position, it’s very close, no pen and carry on with the game and then we are not waiting for five minutes.
"He did really well, made the right decision, made the right call and it was a big call in his first Premier League game. I don't think it was a foul for their second goal but other than that he had a good game. In that moment I thought he did well."
Did you know?
- This was Rob Edwards' 50th Premier League game as a manager (38 with Luton, 12 with Wolves), and his 32nd defeat (W7 D11). Only Mick McCarthy (38) and Daniel Farke (35) have ever lost more of their first 50 matches as a manager in the competition.
