"It's been hanging over our heads. It's not something I've focused on. To do it in this game, with everyone watching, was important; it keeps us moving in the right direction."
"Elation, relief! I know how big a game this is for us and our supporters. It's a Midlands derby, and we take pride in it. When the final goal went in, it was the final nail in the coffin, and I could enjoy the final 20 seconds."
"Villa are such a good team with loads of individual talent and quality, so you have to do your job. In transitional moments, we needed to be clean, go for it or stay behind. In defence, there was a great desire to keep the ball out of the net."
Wolves achieved a crucial 2-0 victory over third-placed Aston Villa with goals from Joao Gomes and Rodrigo Gomes in the second half. This win was particularly significant as it allowed Wolves to escape the shadow of Derby County's infamous Premier League record of 11 points from 2007-08, with Wolves now securing 13 points. Manager Rob Edwards expressed elation and relief at the result, emphasizing the importance of the West Midlands derby to the club and supporters. Following an 11-match winless home run that yielded only two points, Wolves have now improved their form, avoiding defeat in four of their last six league matches and collecting eight points. Edwards highlighted the team's defensive discipline and tactical execution against Villa's quality.
