Moyes said: "The second half was terrific. We looked much more like ourselves.

"We had a few debates because we played on Tuesday about how we would play structurally. We knew that Wolves would play slightly differently and we chose to stick with something quite similar.

"We moved the players around a little bit, but we needed to change (at half-time). We went to three at the back later in the game and it made a huge difference to us. We controlled much more of the game.

"We pressed much better, we passed it better and in the end we got a couple of goals from it.

"It's not easy to come from a goal down in the Premier League.

"This week we've been away at Newcastle and away at Wolves, and home to Tottenham, and the start of the week is something we don't want to think about too much again.

"But since then the boys have shown a great appetite to turn things around. We didn't look at the races in the first 45 minutes today, I don't know if we were still struggling with the game in midweek, or the travel up to Wolves is not an easy one as everybody knows, but overall at least we came back into it.

"We still need our top players to really fire for us and make the difference.

"Not many people score direct from a corner!

"I'm going to praise James for it because of his technical ability, but I also think there was also a bit of blustery wind which may have helped.

"But don't take it away from him because he actually put in a brilliant delivery just before that from a corner and we didn't have the players placed correctly to deal with it.

"But overall he's got a goal from a corner, and we've scored a goal from a penalty today, so it's not necessarily been that we've got them in open play, but we've got them in other ways and at this stage of the season we need to take the points every way we can."
