Wolves boss O'Neil: Massive to have Hwang and Cunha together

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil was delighted having Hwang Hee-chan and Matheus Cunha together for their win against Luton.

The pair were superb together on the day.

"It was massive," he said. “To not be able to name those two since the end of December is huge.

“We don't have many attackers. There are maybe three or four you would class as actual attackers. Top line players there is probably only Pedro, Channy and Cunha who can play on the top line.

“We have not been able to name those two since December, or the three of them since October. It has been tough for the group because we have had to try and find a way and we have been competitive in the last few weeks, apart from Wednesday against Bournemouth.

“If you think back to West Ham, the first half when we dominated the ball but never really looked like we had anyone with that cutting edge.

“Channy's first goal today, we do not score that goal in the last six or seven games. He gives us something very different.

“The lads have done great to keep working, keep fighting. I knew once we started to get attacking players back it would make a big difference. On Saturday, I thought we looked a lot more threatening.

“I'm pleased with the win. I spoke last week about how important it was.

“I am pleased with the performance, apart from the fact we did not kill it off and 2-1 probably does not do the game justice."
