Wolves boss Gary O'Neil was happy to deliver victory for Mario Lemina against Everton.

Lemina lost his father before the game and traveled to France to be with his family yesterday.

We're all enjoying today and then when you're asked about Mario you get a sense of reality," said O'Neil. We're here smiling and Mario is going through a really tough time. All our thoughts are with him.

He was the first thing we spoke about afterwards. He is incredibly important to the team on the pitch and as a group around the place. There's huge respect from the group for what he does. There's no way we would be anywhere near 28 points without him.

I'm 100 per cent serious when I say he can have as long as he needs. He has our full support and I hope him and his family can find some peace over the next few days."
