Wolves’ ‘Ugly’ Victory: Outcome Was the Sole Focus

Ryan Leister, a Wolves supporter and host of the Wolves Report podcast, discussed Saturday’s 2-0 victory against Southampton on BBC Radio 5 Live, stating: “I feel like we’d have been having a totally different conversation [about boss Gary O’Neil] if Wolves hadn’t won.” “It wasn’t pretty – in fact, it was the complete opposite, it was ugly. Southampton had nearly 70% of the ball, but Wolves had one half-chance and one proper chance and took them.” “If you put that performance against a Manchester City or a Liverpool, you’d say it was a tactical masterclass so there is a bit of football snobbery involved because of how ugly it was. But all that mattered on Saturday was Wolves getting the win.” Regarding goalscorer Matheus Cunha, Leister remarked: “We are very lucky to have a player of his quality. He’s a bit of a maverick.” “When that second goal went in, the relief in the stadium and the joy on my face must have been a picture. I was so happy. We’ve waited since April for that win. It’s been a long time coming and I’m delighted we’re off the mark.” Sandi Toksvig features alongside Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies.
