Wolves matchwinner Fer Lopez says Sunday's 1-0 Black Country derby win over West Bromwich Albion gave them a "great feeling".

In the first league meeting between the two former Football League founder members in more than five years, Lopez admitted that Wolves should have won by a much bigger margin with a performance that one media man called "a 1-0 battering".

Only Albion keeper Max O'Leary's string of fine saves kept the score down. But Lopez told BBC Radio WM: "We showed we were the better team.

"We knew the importance of the game. And it is a great feeling to get the only goal."

He also admitted that Jose Sa keeping a clean sheet was also highly important.
