Lage | On first-half display and Jimenez's contentious red card

Wolves were cruising in the opening 45 minutes at Molineux, but following the Mexican getting shown a second yellow card, the game turned on its head with Leeds scoring three times to claim the victory, but Lage wanted to focus on the positives which came with the first-half performance, rather than contentious refereeing decisions.

On Wolves’ first-half performance

“The key moment of the game was how we played in the first 45 minutes. That was the key point of the game and the positive of the game. We were the better team.

“Eleven against 11, we were the better team. We were much better than our opponent. After that, I see the image and it’s more serious than what happens on the pitch.

“What I am is proud of my players because of what we did in the first 45 minutes, because it was very good.”

"2-0 up, 11 against 11, we dominated the game. If we want to do something special in this season we need to continue to work and play like we did in the first 45 minutes."
