ZeeboiWolves secured a crucial victory on the road against Ipswich, bolstering their prospects of remaining in the Premier League.
The 2-1 triumph over Ipswich on Saturday afternoon marked Wolves’ third straight league win.
However, the Old Gold didn’t deliver a consistent performance throughout the entire match…
Vitor Pereira, observing from the stands, witnessed a lackluster first half from his Wolves squad.
Vitor Pereira shares halftime instructions that turned the game against Ipswich:
Liam Delap gave Ipswich an early lead, capitalizing on Jose Sa’s poor positioning to slot the ball into the net.
The Tractor Boys aimed to protect their advantage for the remaining 75 minutes, but a revitalized second-half performance from Wolves proved too much for them to handle.
Pablo Sarabia leveled the score for Wolves less than 10 minutes after coming onto the Portman Road pitch, and Strand Larsen added to his tally—now four goals in his last three outings—with a decisive strike in the 84th minute.
In his post-match comments to the press, Pereira outlined the adjustments he urged his players to make, stressing the importance of increasing their speed and intensity in pressing forward.
His tactical guidance ultimately made the difference in securing the win.
Survival within reach, but not yet guaranteed:
While Wolves are now widely tipped to avoid relegation, leaving Ipswich and Leicester City in the drop zone, Pereira understands that he cannot afford to ease up until their Premier League status is mathematically confirmed.
Like Ipswich, Wolves have seven league matches remaining, including a challenging trip to face reigning champions Manchester City in early May.
The Old Gold will need to accumulate another 13 points to ensure their survival in the Premier League for the next season.
Their next challenge is a home clash against Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs at Molineux on Sunday.
