Vitor Pereira has warned Wolves that the club ‘cannot feel safe’ despite a crucial 2-1 win over Southampton on Saturday.
Wolves moved nine points clear of the relegation places with a hard-fought win on the South Coast. Jorgen Strand Larsen’s double did the damage for the visitors, who held on for the points despite Paul Onuachu’s response for Southampton.

Wolves have now taken 10 points from their last six games to ease fears over relegation. However, Pereira has warned his side the job is not done and insists Wolves can not ease up over the run-in.
“In this league, we cannot feel safe,” he said to BBC Match of the Day.
“The first mistake is to lose points. Now we have the [international] break and it’s important to rest a bit, but the next match is very important for us. We must control our games because we cannot control the opponents’ games.
“They are out of our control. We need to do our work to do well for our supporters, who were fantastic again. We cannot sleep.”
On his side’s performance at St Marys, he added: “In this moment of the season, we want to play good football. We had moments in the game where we played good football and we had [two chances] to score the third goal. If we had, the last 10 minutes would have been different.
“In 30 seconds, they scored their first goal. For a team that wants the three points, it was time to suffer together, be compact, defend and get the three points.”
