Wolves defender Craig Dawson says manager Gary O'Neil deserves credit for victory over Manchester City.

Dawson says a change of formation was key to the 2-1 win.

He said, It was a massive win and it was great to see this place bouncing. A lot of credit has to go to the manager for getting us so organised, with the game plan, and getting us fully prepared for the match, which he has done for every single game. That win goes down to the manager.

It's clear at times we were man to man and the players stuck to that task brilliantly and stuck to the game plan for the full duration of the game, which is great for the lads. It was all about concentration and keeping focused and credit to the manager for preparing us, getting us organised, and today we stuck to the plan and managed to get the victory."

On the change in formation, Dawson added: It worked really well at times. We were man for man, but everybody put a right shift in and worked ever so hard, and we kept them quite quiet, even though they had a lot of possession, which we knew they would have. Credit to the manager to tweaking the tactics and credit to the lads for sticking to the plan."
