We need to use second-half fightback, says Dunk

Lewis Dunk nodded in his second goal in three games in the draw with Wolves.

Lewis Dunk was pleased with the 'good job' Albion did in securing a point against Wolves on Saturday.

After Aaron Connolly had put the hosts in front, Nuno Espirito Santo's team raced into a 3-1 lead, before a second half resurgence from Albion saw them rescue a point with Dunk getting his first Amex goal since June in the 3-3 draw.

“The first half was pretty even, but we conceded three easy goals,” Dunk said. “If you look at all three of those goals, they're not good enough by our standards.

“Again, it shows though that we have got fight and character in this team with the way we came back out. After half-time you could roll over and take it and it could have been worse. It's not a win, but it's a massive point when we were 3-1 down.

“Then they had that massive chance in the last minute of the game, which can't happen. It was a tough game.”

The Albion captain was frustrated at how Albion let themselves fall behind, but getting a goal back within a minute of the restart through Neal Maupay's penalty changed the momentum.

“We made it so hard for ourselves in the first half. We were comfortable passing it around which they let you.

“But we were 1-0 up then a click of the fingers and we were 3-1 down and we were like 'what's going on here?'

“The opening of the second half was a massive swing in our favour and gave us the boost we needed. But we had to carry on from there. We did a good job in the end but we know we can still improve.”
