'Matheus Nunes was excellent!' Wolves fans delighted and relieved with Southampton win - WATCH

A very even game saw both sides create chances at Molineux in an end-to-end contest.

But Podence struck just before half-time to give Wolves a much-needed lead.

The second half was similar to the first, as Wolves found openings but were unable to make them count, while Southampton had a goal chalked off for handball and hit the crossbar.

But Wolves hung on for the result to record their first victory of the league season, at the sixth attempt.
