Norwich boss Daniel Farke, speaking to BBC Sport: “We were 1-0 up, played fantastic, we had two or three one on ones and hit the inside of the post. No-one could complain if we were 4-0 up at half-time. It feels like the most unfair sport in the world but you have to accept it.
“The small details were the difference today. I can’t accuse my players too much. They played fantastic today. They were able to use two of their few chances – but we could not use our 10 or 12 chances.
“They are not machines. Even your best striker who is in red hot form missing chances. It is not a day to punish players.
“It is a tough setback and we will be disappointed, but we go again.”
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking to BBC Sport: “We had a very poor first half. We didn’t block with the vertical balls that broke our lines, but I am happy we gave a very good second half.
“When you see you are making mistakes and try and learn from them, that is what the players did. The players recovered a lot of balls in Norwich’s half and didn’t let them play. We did that and took control of the game, we scored and managed the win very well.
“We had to find new solutions to block Norwich. They are a very good team but I think we were better in the second half because we learned from our mistakes. It is part of us. We are relentless and go to the end. Every game is very important. Every game is a cup final, a final you have to compete in.”
