Jorgen Strand Larsen has vowed Wolves will be 'hungrier than ever' after suffering late heartbreak against the Premier League champions. Larsen was on target for the first goal of the game with a lovely finish from Nelson Semedo's cross but John Stones scored the winner in controversial fashion in stoppage time. Larsen admitted: "We're playing against the best team in the world probably at the moment, so it's difficult but we have to take the positives, and now hopefully we can put those eight games behind us and look forward.

There are 30 games more to play, and we're going to be hungrier than ever.

Our game plan was top notch but in the end, it's just quality that kills us.



We also had a chance with Nelson and a chance in the second half as well. So, we were a bit unlucky to not score one more. If we go 2-0 up, it's easier.

“It hurts a lot. We worked really good for 95 minutes and in some ways we deserved more. We know that City are going to have more of the ball, create chances and get momentum, but I think we defended well with the five.

Then, at the end, when it's 1-1 with one second left to play, you take a point home. But that's football. “That's where we are at the moment, but we just have to take the good bits from it.

I think the gaffer points it out well after the game that we have to take the positives. "When we can perform like that against City for 95 minutes, we should be proud, and we have to take the positives, but the points matter and hopefully they will come soon.” On his goal and performance, he said: “It was my second goal here at home.

It's always nice to score. Of course, you score and you have dreams of taking three points, but we got really close today. The points are what matters for me, but always nice to grab a goal as well.

“I was so tired when I came off, I couldn't continue running. So, we gave it all, all of us. I want to be a part of the team, from the goalkeeper until every player that comes from the bench as well.

I think that we could have deserved a little bit more." What did you make of Larsen's performance? Have your say here.
