Craig Dawson praised Wolves boss Gary O\u2019Neil after their shock win over Manchester City.<\/p>\n
The defender kept Erling Haaland quiet as Wolves earned a battling 2-1 win at Molineux on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Hwang Hee-chan struck a second-half winner after Julian Alvarez had cancelled out Ruben Dias\u2019 early own goal.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Neil had come in for early criticism from supporters, especially after Tuesday\u2019s 3-2 Carabao Cup defeat at Ipswich, but Dawson insisted the manager deserved all the plaudits from Saturday.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cA lot of credit has to go to the manager for getting us so organised, with the game plan, and getting us fully prepared for the match, which he has done for every single game. That win goes down to the manager.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a massive win and it was great to see this place bouncing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s clear at times we were man to man and the players stuck to that task brilliantly and stuck to the game plan for the full duration of the game, which is great for the lads.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was all about concentration and keeping focused and credit to the manager for preparing us, getting us organised, and today we stuck to the plan and managed to get the victory.\u201d<\/p>\n
Defeat ended City\u2019s flawless start to the Premier League season but they remain top, a point ahead of Tottenham and Arsenal \u2013 with a trip to the Emirates Stadium to come on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all a bit disappointed now of course. We should have done more I guess,\u201d midfielder Oscar Bobb told the club\u2019s official site.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe pushed for it and unfortunately didn\u2019t get it. Leipzig (in the Champions League on Wednesday) is next, a big game ahead and then Arsenal. We\u2019re only thinking forward.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not the greatest feeling, losing. I just want to keep pushing for more.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt gives us the chance to prove that we\u2019re still the best team, so we\u2019re looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
