Head coach Bruno Lage says that he was pleased with how Wolverhampton Wanderers managed a long stoppage in play before beating Brentford in the Premier League.

Head coach Bruno Lage heaped praise on his Wolverhampton Wanderers players after they defeated Brentford by a 2-1 scoreline on a dramatic Saturday afternoon.

The game was halted during the first half due to the presence of a drone, resulting in 19 minutes of stoppage time being added after the referee took the players off the pitch.

Wolves eventually won the game in England's capital through two brilliantly-taken goals from Portuguese duo Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves.

After a third successive Premier League win, Wolves remain in contention for European qualification, and Lage was impressed with how his team managed the varying circumstances.

Speaking to Match of the Day, Lage said: "Strange things today but most importantly was that we came with personality, we came with consistency that we are doing in this month.

"It was a very good start of the year, three wins in the Premier League and one win in the cup and we come with the right mentality. So three points, good goals and I think we controlled the game with the ball that's why I'm happy today with my boys.

On the drone incident, the Portuguese added: "Tried to understand what happened, tried to find the man who controlled the drone then we come inside and talk a little bit about the game. Sometimes we don't have that time during the game to chat and we talked a little bit.

"I think it was a strange first half, too many stops, but I think in the second half, we started very well. We were the better team in the second half, we scored early, we controlled the game."

Wolves do not return to action until they play host to Norwich City in the FA Cup fourth round on February 5.
