"Not only me, managers, players, it's such a moment of joy sometimes you  cannot contain yourself," he said, ahead of Saturday's FA Cup trip to Shrewsbury.

"Everyone knows it's hard to contain those emotions in such a special moment, the last minute of the game, a goal which gave us such an important victory.

"I tried to avoid it but I think I still maintain the referee took the right decision but everyone understands why I went onto the pitch."

Wolves remain without the suspended Willy Boly but have no injury worries ahead of the trip to New Meadow.

Shrewsbury are 18th in Sky Bet League One, a point above the relegation zone, but Nuno is wary of an upset.

He added: "We have a tough challenge, we cannot think about anything ahead of it. The cups and these games are unpredictable, we have prepared knowing we have to maintain our high standards and compete.

"We don't think about the result, we know what we have to do – complete, play and be intense."

The manager also celebrated his 45th birthday on Friday with the players at training.

"Everybody runs down a (man-made) tunnel so we did it and celebrated together, happy days. It's a tradition. I had a cake and it was quite nice," he added.
