Wolves manager Rob Edwards has been speaking to Sky Sports following the draw: “It was a good response from last week and a better start to the game. We had a foot in it and it was nice to get the first goal. The last 10 to 15 minutes of the first half, we maybe stepped back because we were winning the game, which we don’t want to do, so we invited a bit too much pressure which led to the penalty.
“But I thought we stepped forward really well again in the second half. We attacked the game well, we were aggressive, we had a lot of high regains and we had chances we weren’t able to capitalise on.”

On whether he wants Matheus Mane to be a part of Wolves’ future: “Yep. He will want to be here because this is the right place for him at the moment. We are confident we will be working with him next season.
“He certainly made a difference with the goal and the penalty today. Overall, I thought his performance was really good. He showed lots of endeavour and had a brilliant moment of quality. He is intelligent and the exciting thing is there’s a lot more to come from him. He has been a big plus for us this year in a really challenging period.”
On Hwang Hee-chan: “He has worked incredibly hard, has been at the club a long time and has given his all. No one can question what he gives. There was a bit of frustration, but it was always going to be an emotionally charged day.
“No one is happy with the situation but, overall, it was quite a good day. The fans were behind the lads, we showed a better response and we took a step in the right direction.”
