After the match, Wolves manager Rob Edwards was visibly emotional. In an interview, he fondly recalled the breathtaking atmosphere at Molineux Stadium and the celebratory moments of sharing victory with the fans, admitting that this profound emotional bond was the very reason he chose to return to the club.

Facing a formidable opponent like Aston Villa, Molineux Stadium unleashed an incredible energy this night. Edwards expressed his deep gratitude for the fans' unwavering support: "I understand we have to perform well and win the derby, and you get a fantastic atmosphere. I know it's a two-way street, and the fans tonight were amazing."

After a challenging season, this derby victory is especially precious. Edwards said: "The ending of the game was incredible. It was a special moment in this difficult season."

"It feels so good to be able to express my emotions and build the kind of connection we crave. That's why I'm here, on nights like this, truly special moments. This moment will stay with me forever."

When talking about the post-match celebrations with the fans, the coach admitted that he was completely infected by the passion of the crowd: "I was so excited at the time that I forgot everything. Football has that kind of magic. I forgot where I was and who was watching."

In the midst of the pressure-filled relegation battle, Edwards believes that releasing the pressure is crucial. He emphasized the importance of enjoying the moment: "I know it's been a very tough season, but if you can't enjoy these moments, in such an important game against such a great team, then you shouldn't be in this business at all. I think it's only right that we all enjoy this moment."
