Wanderers manager lauds Scotsman after win

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy heaped praise on defender Christophe Berrra for the defender's role in the 2-1 win over Fulham. Berra demonstrated a defensive masterclass on Sunday while the energetic centre-back also provided a key assist to Kevin Doyle's first goal in Wanderers colours to open the scoring at the Molineux. And the Scottish shot-stopper's efforts were not lost on his manager, who told Sky Sports: "I think you can justifiably pick him out on today's performance. "We can't win Premiership games with one player, there's no question about that, but I thought he was outstanding and in the last 10 minutes when balls were coming into our box I thought he handled that particularly well."

Doyle

McCarthy also reserved high regard for the performance of Doyle after the striker opened his Wolves account. The former Republic of Ireland boss added:"Unfortunately for Kevin he came (to Wolves) and then he had a hernia so he's never been up to the pace of the game, so I'm thrilled for him and thrilled for us because he's a good player. Berra was delighted with his own performance, but insists it was a team effort. "I was happy with my performance but it's not just down to me it's a team performance," said the 24-year-old. "I think out there was 11 players that gave their all, everyone put a great shift in and it's a great victory for us."
