Dave Edwards: Everyone at Wolves deserved that moment

The win over Tottenham was a super game of football and Wolves really deserved that with everything that has happened over the last couple of months.

They came into the game on the back of the disappointment of losing to Sheffield United and then conceded an early goal.

To win it in the fashion they did, I just felt like the whole football club deserved that and no-one more than Gary O’Neil.

I have spoken so highly about him in recent weeks and the difference he has made at the football club having taken over in such difficult circumstances.

The revolution that has happened under his watch, the way the players are playing with desire and intensity, it is so good to watch.

Going to a back five can be seen as a negative step. But we saw under Nuno Espirito Santo how that can be used as an attacking option and O’Neil is doing exactly the same.

He is producing really exciting front-foot football, the way they use the home crowd to their advantage where they can really drive that intensity.
