WOLVES HAVE THE COAD TO UNLOCK CITY

CONOR COADY has scored more Premier League goals in 2022 than £97.5million striker Romelu Lukaku.

And Wolves’ last action hero reckons his 97th-minute equaliser at Stamford Bridge has set them up nicely for a tilt at Manchester City.

Skipper Coady (above), whose dramatic header ended a run of three straight defeats, said: “To come back from 2-0 down against the European Cup holders is huge.

“It’s important to harness it and take this into another tough game on Wednesday night.

“I’m not talking so much about the feeling of a last-minute goal, which will always take you places, but the celebrations in the dressing room were all about the performance and making sure we take it forward.”

Wolves beat City home and away two seasons ago, and the Blue Moon needed a ridiculous penalty to pip Bruno Lage’s 10 men at the Etihad five months ago. But Coady warned: “We know we’re coming up against an incredible, relentless team. They never stop and do the same things over and over again, but we have to try and impose our style on them.

“We’ll have 32,000 Wolves fans behind us – we know what that can do for us and we’ll go into it with our own mentality, staying compact and taking this performance into it.

“We had to look ourselves in the mirror because a lot of things have been said about us in the last couple of weeks and we needed to put them right.

“We understand we had to improve, not only for ourselves but for all the people who work at the club, and the supporters who travel in their thousands to back us.

“And we want to finish the season as strongly as we possibly can because a few people have been writing us off, saying we were going to get beat 3-0 or 4-0, and it was doing my head in.”
