Wolves captain has one hope after dominant win

A clinical and ruthless second half saw Wolves put the London side to the sword on their home patch to record back-to-back wins and their first away victory since February.

Gary O'Neil's side are now on a run of four games unbeaten, with eight points picked up, and the skipper believes they are turning a corner in their relegation battle.

"Since Brighton the atmosphere has been really good at the training ground," Lemina said.

"We feel that we're turning the wheel in the other way and we're trying our best to get the result for the fans and the club.

"Today was a good day for us.

"It's been really tough for us, tough for them and tough for the club.

"The fans work really hard to be with us every time, so they deserve these kind of moments.

"I hope it's the beginning of something different." 

A brace and assist from Matheus Cunha saw him once again make the headlines with a starring performance at Craven Cottage.

And the captain had nothing but praise for the Brazilian.

"He's a special player," Lemina said of Cunha.

"He is working really hard for the team and he deserves all the praise for what he's giving right now.

"He's unbelievable right now."

Lemina provided the assist for Cunha with a fantastic long ball over the top - a move the skipper says was planned.

"It was something we worked on and I tried to play the best ball I could," he added.

"We were lucky everything was perfect. The control was mad and the goal was crazy, everything was perfect."

Alongside a strong team performance, Lemina impressed by stepping into central defence amid Wolves' injury and illness issues.

But the 31-year-old insists he is always willing to do any job for the team.

When asked for his reaction to being asked to play at centre-back, Lemina said: "The same when I play as a midfielder, I will give my all to the team and the club. That's what I do.

"It's not a new position because I've already played there a few times before.

"At the end of the day, football is football, if you have the knowledge for what you have to do. I had to be a centre-back to make sure we won the game and that's what I did."

Craig Dawson missed the game through illness, while Santi Bueno and Pablo Sarabia were unavailable due to injury.

Wolves are expecting all three to be available for the next game, as Bournemouth travel to Molineux, amid a run of favourable fixtures that will also include tests against Everton, West Ham, Ipswich and Leicester before Christmas.
