For Wolves at Molineux, this game was all about the result.
The performance could have been far better on the day against a weak Southampton side, but a 2-0 win ending a winless run this season and securing a first clean sheet in 23 Premier League games was just the tonic Wolves needed.
It was a decision that was ridiculed and questioned on social media, but just two minutes into the game O'Neil's call was justified as Sarabia netted the opening goal. But it took guts from O'Neil to make that decision and he was vindicated. On another day that call does not pay off and Wolves suffer for it, but on this occasion the head coach got it right.
