Ryan Bennett has told the Express and Star that Wolverhampton Wanderers have been extremely unfortunate in two of their defeats this season.

Wolves have only lost three games since returning to the Premier League, against Leicester City, Watford and Brighton & Hove Albion.

And while the centre-back admits that Wolves were outplayed by Watford, he feels that they were well in the other two matches.

Indeed Bennett claims nobody could argue that Wolves were the better side in the bulk of the games that they have been beaten in.

“You look at the two defeats we’ve had – take the Watford one out of it – Leicester away and Brighton, I don’t think you’ll find anyone to argue we weren’t the better team,” Bennett said.

“That’s the harsh reality of the league.”

Nuno’s side have suffered back-to-back defeats over the past two weekends, which is a feeling they have become unfamiliar with.

Wolves badly unperformed against Watford, but they were unfortunate against Brighton at the weekend.

Wolves created plenty of chances, but they just couldn’t put the ball beyond Mat Ryan in the Brighton goal.

Wolves are now in 10th place in the Premier League table, with their next match coming against Tottenham Hotspur.
