Wolves boss Vitor Pereira took aim at the Ewood Park pitch after their 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers.

Goals from Joao Gomes and Matheus Cunha claimed the victory for the Premier League outfit. Rovers competed well for 90 minutes but switched off and were punished.

Pereira made a point of highlighting the conditions of the surface, which was patchy in areas.

“It was a very tough pitch, against a good team away," he said.

"In these kinds of games, the games that I watched yesterday, were very difficult for the opponents, even when you have a team in the third division against a team from the Premier League.

“This is because if you don't come with the right mentality, you have no chance to win. But we came with the right mentality to play a tough game and I think we deserved the result.

“When you come the first time to play in this pitch, it’s not easy. Even for technical players, you have time that you need to take to adapt to this pitch.

“They adapted to playing on this pitch with a different ball, that’s another problem, with strong wind, so it's not easy, but when we started to find the spaces, when we started to understand where the spaces were to go and to move, and we score two goals.

"When I spoke to the players, they said to me that was very difficult to control and to score in this pitch, but I'm happy. I'm proud of my players.”
