    That's all from us but we're back tomorrow with six Premier League games taking place. No early kick off, though, so enjoy a lie in!

    I'll leave you with Steve Sutcliffe's report on tonight's game and see you next time.

  2. 'We have to play for 90 minutes and not 45'published at 22:39 GMT 24 February 2023

    FT: Fulham 1-1 Wolves

    Fulham

    Fulham boss Marco Silva, speaking to BBC Sport: "We didn't play at our level in the first half, not aggressive on and off the ball, too passive. When you do this at this level you give them the calmness to start building their attacks, which is what they didn't.

    "It was a much different second half. The players who came in made an impact on the game but all the players were much more better, much more dynamic and aggressive."

    On Manor Solomon: "He is in a great moment. It is up to us to keep providing the moments for him to receive the ball and we will keep giving him the minutes to improve his fitness and stamina.

    "He is in an important moment and scoring goals but he needs to take by step and get ready for 90 minutes and at the moment he is not ready for 90 minutes.

    "We were always on the front foot in the second half but football is like that, we have to play for 90 minutes and not 45.

    "We have to look to ourselves, to have ambition but at the same time stay humble."

  3. 'We couldn't find the right balance'published at 22:35 GMT 24 February 2023

    FT: Fulham 1-1 Wolves

    Wolves

    Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui tells Sky Sports: "I think it was a good first half for us against a strong team like Fulham. We made good chances but it was a shame we didn't score more.

    "After the break they scored quickly and we couldn't find the right balance.

    "It's not easy to score but we played in a very good way and in the second half they were able to push us more.

    "The match changed after the injury to Cunha.

    "We have the need to get a lot of points to stay out of relegation. It's going to be a hard and tough task but we have one more today.

    "We have another important match in four days so we have to be ready."

  4. 'We want to prove our quality'published at 22:31 GMT 24 February 2023

    FT: Fulham 1-1 Wolves

    Fulham

    Fulham manager Marco Silva speaking to Sky Sports: "Many things were different in the second half, the dynamic of the team and the way we pressed the ball. We didn't do that well enough from the start.

    "We weren't aggressive enough in the press and that allowed them to start easy attacks.

    "On the ball we were much more dynamic on the ball after half time and that gave Pereira the chance to create.

    "It was a reaction that I wanted but that's how we should have started."

    On Manor Solomon: "It's not for sure that he will start next time. He need to keep doing what he's doing. He doesn't have 90 minutes in his legs yet.

    "He has been really important but let's hope he continues doing it."

    On goals for the season: "Our ambition is always the same. We want to prove our quality and ambition on the pitch.

    "I'm proud of my players for what they are doing. Tonight was a good example of that. Every single game we need to keep proving it.

    "The players need to stay in the same mindset."

  5. 'We overcame them in the first half'published at 22:26 GMT 24 February 2023

    FT: Fulham 1-1 Wolves

    Wolves

    Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui, speaking to BBC Sport: "We came here to win the match. We made a good match with big commitment and hard work. In the first half I think we overcame them. It was a pity with the problems we had in the second half and we had to change. After their goal it was a more balanced match.

    "We have one point more and we have to focus on the next challenge and be ready."

    Heading in the right direction? "We are trying to do it. It is always a tough match because all the teams are very good teams. We need points and today we have one point more."

    On Matheus Cunha injury: "We don't know, we have to look and wait."

    Wolves

    Wolves defender Hugo Bueno tells Sky Sports: "The second half was really tough. The team worked really hard and it's a good point away, we need to work hard for the next one.

    "It's an important point in a hard stadium to play. I'm really happy for the team but we wanted more.

    "It's a mixed feeling. We want to win every game. We have to keep going.

    "The first half was good, we really controlled well but we had to defend more in the second half."

    FT: Fulham 1-1 Wolves

    Fulham

    Fulham goalscorer Manor Solomon tells Sky Sports: "It is amazing to have my parents here in the stands.

    "I'm happy for my goal but we wanted to win today and we didn't do it.

    "We need to take the positives from this game and look forward to the next game on Tuesday.

    "I'm progressing well from the injury, I've had a tough time outside the pitch but now I'm happy to be back and playing football again.

    "I'm always trying to knock on the door of the coach and I will speak to him about this, I always want to be in the starting lineup. I'm glad I could do my job today.

    "I feel ready to start, I feel physically much better and my body is feeling good."

    On his goal: "I saw clean space so I ducked in and I'm happy to score. I'm happy it went in the right direction. I'm looking forward to more to come.

    "I think Robinson made a good movement to make space for me and I saw the far corner."

    On what was said at half-time: "He [Silva] wasn't satisfied with our performance in the first half and he asked us to show what we've been doing all season. We did it better in the second half but we still wanted to win the game."

    On ambitions for season: "We haven't spoken about them yet. Our first goal was to secure another year in the Premier League, I think we have done it and now we need to find our next goal.

    "We come to every game hoping to win and we hope to do that in the next matches."

    Fulham, meanwhile, remain sixth but are just three points off the top four.

    Show me any Fulham fan who would not take that. What a season they are having.

    Given Fulham's form, Wolves have to be the happier of the two with that away point. It moves them four points clear of the relegation zone.

    All over, and probably a fair result.

    Jose Sa's save at the end was crucial.

    Jack Heather: Dynamics completely shifted once Cunha went off, he and Raul had linked play nicely up until that point. 4-4-2 is still our best shape and JL needs to stick with it.

    Diego Costa is onto a ball in the box but the angle is too tight to have a go at goal and his pull back is straight to a Fulham player.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 90+4 mins

    Fulham 1-1 Wolves

    BIG save by Jose Sa as he dives at full stretch to keep out Carlos Vinícius' header from close range. That looked to be nestling in the back of the net but Sa did superbly.
