Nuno Espirito Santo targets "special" end to season

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo wants to "do something special" after winning promotion as he targets 104 points for the season.

Nuno Espirito Santo has urged his Wolverhampton Wanderers players to keep their momentum going to break the 100-point barrier.

Wolves are already assured of a place in the Premier League next season following Fulham's 1-1 draw with Brentford on Saturday evening and are within a point of securing the title.

A 2-0 win against West Midlands rivals Birmingham City on Sunday took Wanderers to 95 points for the season, with three more matches still to come.

Nuno intends to make it three wins from three from those remaining fixtures, telling BBC Sport: "It is good to have 95 points, and we can now celebrate. But let's now do something special. Let's dream now. Let us get to 98, 101, 104 points, maybe?

"Birmingham came to fight for something that was important to them. Some of their tackles were out of order but the referee punished them.

"The Championship is the hardest competition the world. Each team comes to fight and derbies are special. And we were also intense in what we did. We were ready for it."

Reading hold the record for the number of points accrued in a single 46-game season, finishing on 106 in 2005-06.
