Nuno pleased with his side's battling spirit

Leo Bonatini scored minutes into the second half, and then substitute Helder Costa added a second from the penalty spot in the dying minutes of the game.

In the post-match conference, Nuno said: "I think we are all satisfied. There were a lot of positives and the main thing is that the team competed well. They don’t have to prove anything to anybody."

"It was a good game but sometimes we rushed too much. We have a lot of work to do. All the cups are important. This competition gives us minutes of real intensity. It gives players an opportunity to show what they can do."

"There were good saves, good defending, good possession and good movement."

When asked about the absence of Danny Batth, Nuno replied:

"Danny is the captain of the club but sometimes we have to make decisions. Every player at Wolves is in my plans."

"The market is not closed but if a big team comes in with £100m for a player, what can you do?"

Following the game, Sheffield Wednesday boss Jos Luhakay said: "My team tried everything but today it was a very good opponent."

"It’s not nice when you’re not in the next round and you lose but we saw some positives from the game as our young players learned a lot."
