Wolves boss 'frustrated' at defensive errors

Ryan Sessegnon's opener came after 58 seconds as Fulham's passes cut Wolves open and skipper Nelson Semedo mistakenly stepped out to press at the wrong time.

Fulham's winner then came less than two minutes into the second half as one defence-splitting pass set up Rodrigo Muniz, and Pereira is determined to cut out the errors.

"I'm frustrated because after three days playing again, we started the first half by conceding a very easy goal," Pereira said.

"Our level of concentration, our focus was not at the level of the game. After, we reacted, we started to play against a good team winning 1-0, and we created some situations, and we scored the goal.

“But, when you start the second half in the same way, it's very difficult because in the second half I felt that the team was tired.

"The pressing was not the pressing that we’re used to and when they started with the subs, they had a lot of solutions in the squad. For us, it's not the case.”

When asked why his side lacked intensity in the second half, Pereira put it down to fatigue following the win over Bournemouth at the weekend.

"It reflects the game on Saturday, two games after three days, it was not possible to recover totally," the head coach added.

Meanwhile, Pereira admits he is hoping to give 17-year-old Mateus Mane some first team minutes soon.

The academy star, who plays in the England youth set-up, made the bench against Fulham for the first time as he continues to impress the club's coaches.

"He's a talented player," Pereira said.

"I believe he will be a player with a big future in our club.

"I hope, as soon as possible, to give him the opportunity to play."
