Gomes | 'It was an unbelievable night'

Rodrigo Gomes spoke of an “unbelievable night” after Wolves dramatically beat Liverpool under the Molineux lights on Tuesday.

Like on Friday against Aston Villa, Gomes played a starring role off the bench, putting his side ahead with an excellent, outside of the foot finish to spark an eventful final 15 minutes where Liverpool equalised, but the Old Gold struck the hammer blow late on.

Gomes was in the thick of the celebrations for Andre’s winner, and those at the full-time after the win was confirmed, and Gomes couldn’t hide his joy post-match, as the momentum continues to build within the squad.

On another special Molineux night

“It was an unbelievable night, again. Two wins in a row, under the lights with our fans is just unbelievable – amazing, amazing. It was equally as special. I think we did a good game, in a difficult game, because Liverpool is a good team.

“We showed our belief, we showed that we are in a good phase, with good momentum, and we need to keep doing this. The lads are playing very good, and I’m very, very happy to be able to help the team with this game and we need to enjoy it.”

On the gameplan playing out

“We defended very well. We were very compact and didn’t allow a lot of chances to Liverpool. Then we got our chances and we scored – I scored, Andre scored, and I’m very happy for him – his first goal, it’s unbelievable. We did an amazing game and achieved the win, which is the most important thing, and we need to enjoy it.”

On his goals on the break

“It excited me a lot. When I saw Tolu holding the ball, and I saw the space, I knew I needed to go. It was very good, being able to score in front of our fans. It was amazing, like living a dream. I saw the space and just ran. I felt Konate almost take the ball, but I think it was a good finish, a difficult finish, but it was good.”

On the crucial winner

“Even when they scored, we kept compact and we showed our belief and scored the goal. It was an amazing moment with the fans. It was just unbelievable. When the ball went in the goal, the feeling in the whole stadium was amazing. When you win in the last minute, it feels very, very good. It’s football, and we need to keep this momentum.”

On going again on Friday

“Liverpool again, here with our fans. We need to do the same, and if we play this, if we show this belief and quality, we have a good chance to win the game.”
