Ruben Neves hails Wolverhampton Wanderers' mentality

Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves puts his team's success down to their positive mentality.

Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves has attributed the team's success this season to their positive mentality.

Speaking in the wake of his title-chasing side's 1-0 victory over Cardiff City, the Portugal international put their position in the promotion race down to their "attitude and character".

"It's [because of] our attitude and character," the Express & Star quotes Neves as saying. "We work all the game to win and we deserved the luck we had.

Nuno Espirito Santo's table-toppers, who are up against Derby County next, survived a scare against Cardiff as the Welsh side missed two penalties during the match.

"I've never played in a game that finished like that! It was incredible," Neves added.

"We understand the [promotion] excitement but like Nuno said we have five games to go and we think game by game.

"We go into Derby with the same attitude – focused to win."

Wolves are nine points clear of Cardiff at the top of the Championship, having played a game more than the Bluebirds.
