LAST NIGHT’S SKY Bet Championship games threw up an Irish goalscorer as Wolves clinched an injury-time 2-1 victory over Bristol City.

Dublin-born full-back Matt Doherty proved instrumental for Kenny Jackett’s side — setting up Nathan Byrne for their opener with a mazy run before getting his head onto Jeremy Helan’s free-kick in the 94th minute.

“There’s no better way to win a game than in the last minute whether it’s you personally or as a team,” Doherty said on Wolves’ YouTube channel.

Former Ireland U21 international and Bohemians youth, who joined Wolves in 2010, has been a regular in the team this term with 28 appearances in all competitions.

The 24-year-old enjoys the attacking side of the game but says he has been working hard to improve his defending.

“I love going forward but the manager and my dad and the coaching staff had said to be a defender first because I’m not naturally always thinking defensively,” he added.

I’ve just knuckled down and worked hard defensively in training and in games it’s about not getting carried away by trying to get forward every time.

“It’s freed me up when I’ve done my job defensively to break forward and I’ve been able to do some pretty good things in the last few weeks.”
