  3. 'I'm really pleased with the attitude'published at 22:25 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2021

    FT: Wolves 1-0 Leeds

    Wolves

    Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to BBC Sport:

    "[It was] a very tight game.

    "It was a tough game. I didn't think Leeds didn't deserve [something from] the game.

    "I was very pleased with the attitude of the players. It's very difficult to play Leeds. I am pleased.

    "The keepers were very active today. So I'm looking at a game when the goalkeeper had so many actions. It's a very active and good game.

    "Rui [Patricio] did his job and he kept his clean sheet. That's always good for us as a team.

    "I am really pleased with the attitude of our players. We've been working hard. The players are very committed. We must keep these high standards."

  4. 'We had double the chances they did'published at 22:22 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2021

    Leeds United

    Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsea, speaking to BBC Sport: "All evaluations from the game are in favour of us. The possession, the dominance and the chances. In this sense it was the possession that created danger, a dominance that was productive. We had double the chances they did to score but we didn't manage to do so.

    "We had 10 chances and we weren't able to score a goal, they had five and scored one. That explains the game.

    "I can't be upset [with the goal] because it wasn't Ilan's fault.

    "If we defended well and attacked well I don't think we can conclude that we lost because Kalvin Phillips wasn't there."

  5. 'Neto was their most important player'published at 22:19 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2021

    Wolves 1-0 Leeds

    Leeds United

    Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa, speaking to BT Sport: "There were only a few moments in the game where we didn't dominate. The offensive game we had was sufficient to score at least one goal and in a game of small margins I had the feeling we were the superior side.

    "We had 10 chances from different areas and I thought our offensive game was good. I don't think we conceded the dominance of the game too often. Of course they have two wingers who are very dangerous and although we didn't dominate them completely I thought our defensive performance was good.

    "[Adama] Traore is a forward who is complicated but if you look back on the game, independent of the goal, you can see if he unbalanced the game for them or not. For me personally the number seven [Pedro Neto] was their most important player."

    Leeds midfielder Tyler Roberts speaking to BBC Sport:

    "It was a performance where all the boys dug in.

    "We pushed all the way but it didn't work out.

    "They're goal was unfortunate. We just have to take the positives.

    "It's a piece of luck. It's come off the bar and hit our keeper. It was a freak accident.

    "It was a high-pressured game. It just didn't fall our way today."

    Wolves

    Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to BT Sport:

    "They have a unique approach to the game and the boys did really well.

    "In some moments we were stronger but Leeds also had chances and created problems for us.

    "Players like Adama [Traore] and Pedro [Neto], when they have the ball and start running, are really dangerous. It was a beautiful strike.

    "It is a hard moment for the keeper but he did very well.

    "We still have some issues to assess but the approach that we have during these tough moments - always believing, always committing. You can't say anything about the attitude of the players. But we chase the high standards we have and let's keep on doing that."

    And another great save as the Portugal international tips behind a Raphinha header.

    He even catches the resulting corner too.

    Helder Costa goes through but Rui Patricio makes a stunning save with his boot.
