Wolverhamptonwanderers manager Rob Edwards expressed his frustration following the club's 1-1 draw against Sunderland, a match he believes his side "should win." Despite playing against a 10-man Sunderland for a significant period, Wolves failed to convert numerous opportunities, leaving Edwards to rue the missed chances.

Speaking to Match of the Day, Edwards highlighted the team's inability to capitalize on their dominance. He noted, "We have created a number of big chances, scrambles, some big opportunities and not taken them." The sending off of Sunderland's Dan Ballard seemingly eased the pressure, yet the Molineux atmosphere contributed to an anxious performance from the players.

Edwards addressed the controversial red card shown to Dan Ballard, stating it was "the letter of the law." He drew parallels to previous incidents involving Wolves player Tolu Arokodare, acknowledging that while it wasn't a deliberate act, the rule was applied correctly.

The manager also defended his decision to substitute Hugo Bueno, which was met with boos from some supporters. Edwards clarified that Hugo Bueno had a challenging week in training and the change was a tactical move "to be positive and get another forward on the pitch," emphasizing the difficulty of pleasing everyone in such situations.

The draw underscored Wolverhamptonwanderers' struggle with finishing, despite their offensive efforts. The club registered 20 shots against Sunderland, their highest tally in a Premier League match since April 2025 against Leicester City.

Interestingly, Santiago Bueno stands out as Wolverhamptonwanderers' leading Premier League scorer this season with three goals, all of which have originated from corners. These three goals account for 50% of the club's corner goals this term, highlighting his unique contribution.
