#PLStories- #NunoEspiritoSantos gives insight to half time message that inspired win over Southampton #WolvesFC

Nuno Espirito Santo has revealed what he told his Wolves players at half-time to inspire their second half turnaround at St Mary’s. Danny Ings’ goal had Southampton in front at the break before Ruben Neves (pen) and Pedro Neto turned the game around. Wolves’ first half showing was abject and Nuno has explained the words he had with his players at half-time. “The momentum changed in the second half, I'm pleased with the reaction,“ he said. "I just told them to correct things and find better solutions at half time. "We have talented players, Pedro, Adama, when they have space to do their actions they're very difficult to stop. It's a huge moment for us."

Some supporters remain frustrated that Nuno didn’t field his strongest XI in the cup game earlier this week. Explaining his decision to make six changes in more detail today, Nuno said: “I understand and respect their opinions a lot, more than anyone else. They are at home but they are aware of the situations - but they are not totally aware of everything. “For example, Willian (Jose) came from Spain, he played against Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Leicester - all these games and minutes - Pedro the same, Adama (Traore) the same. “When you consider a player is on the edge of getting injured you have to be aware of that and make the right decision.” Read More Related Articles Read More Related Articles Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl, meanwhile, was left feeling aggrieved over the penalty Wolves were awarded at the beginning of the second half. Hasenhuttl believes the one given against Ryan Bertrand was similar to a later incident involving Wolves' Leander Dendoncker which wasn’t awarded. “He explained the arm was away from the body,” Hasenhuttl said of his conversation with referee Graham Scott over Wolves’ penalty. “It is the rule, OK, but then he must explain on the other side when the ball hits the arm and this is not a penalty. VAR maybe can explain this but I couldn’t speak with VAR.”
