Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo reveals his delight following Wednesday's 2-0 win over Southampton in the first round of the EFL Cup.

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo has revealed his delight after his team recorded a 2-0 victory over Southampton in the first round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.

Santo made 11 changes from Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Cardiff City in the Championship, and the reserve team emerged victorious against Mauricio Pellegrino's Premier League side.

"I'm very proud, it's fantastic work from my players, the way they prepared. It's not about building a team, it's about a squad, and they showed there's no starting XI at Wolves," Nuno told reporters.

"For us it's about creating a squad, growing their own identity and being able to perform like this. We know Donovan [Wilson], he's been performing well and training with us for some time.

"He has scored a goal here, but he will be back with the U23s. Nothing changes for Donovan. I've done this throughout my career, giving players chances, but only at the right times."

Wolves will look to bounce back from the defeat at Cardiff last weekend when they travel to Brentford on Saturday afternoon.
