Wolverhampton Wanderers picked up their second win of the Premier League season today when they defeated Burnley 1-0 at Molineux.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side were the better team from start to finish and they probably should have scored a lot more than the 61st minute goal netted by Mexican striker Raul Jimenez.

Speaking after the game Wolves Portuguese coach Santo revealed he was happy with his teams performance, but he admitted that his side will need to be more clinical in the future.

“I am very, very satisfied. We played good football and stayed organised and created chances. Burnley are a good side and stayed in it until the end.’’ Santo told Sky Sports.

“If there is a ‘but’, we could be more clinical. But if we can continue to make these many chances, it makes me very proud.’’

“After we scored we conceded more space. But this will come. We kept a clean sheet which is important for us. It is there. It will come naturally.

Wolves will travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United next weekend, with Santo admitting he is looking forward to the challenge.

“Now we will rest then focus. It will be a tough game but we will enjoy it. We will go there to compete like we always do.” He added.
