Wolverhampton Wanderers earned a hard-fought win over Cardiff City last night.

Nuno Espirito Santo, the Wolves manager looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Millwall and Wolverhampton at The Den on December 26, 2017 in London, England.

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo sat down for an exclusive interview with the club’s official website, in the aftermath of his side’s superb 1-0 win away at Cardiff City last night, and shared the one thing that disappointed him about his team’s display in Wales.

Wolves rode their luck last night, of that there is no doubt, with the Bluebird’s missing two injury time penalties before the referee blew his whistle for full-time.

Nuno spoke to reporters after the game, and shared something that disappointed him about his side’s display at the Cardiff City Stadium, as quoted by the club’s official website:

“I think we should control better the emotions. It’s my job to control the emotions of the players to avoid these situations. We were looking to put score more goals but at the same time when we defend we have to be a bit more cautious.”

Next up for Nuno’s men is a home game against Derby County in the Championship on Wednesday night, and they could secure promotion with a win against Gary Rowett’s men, should results elsewhere go their way.
