Wolves had managed to cancel out a first-half Zian Flemming brace before the interval with goals from Jorgen Strand Larsen and Marshall Munetsi. It looked like they were on for holding on to a point, until Clarets substitute Lyle Foster delivered a devastating blow deep in stoppage time."
"I went to speak with them, Pereira explained in his post-match press conference. What I said to them is we worked a lot and we need to fight together. But I understand the frustration. Two months ago, they sang my name because of the work that we did last season, and we are competing in the Premier League, not in the Championship.
