WOLVES coach Viktor Pereira has lavished praise on hardworking Warriors midfielder Marshall Munetsi who put in another good shift in his team's win at the weekend.
Pereira has expressed his admiration of Munetsi's hard work and expertise, which have helped Wolves steer clear of the drop zone.
They have established a 12-point cushion from the danger zone.
“Marshall is a physical player that runs a lot, creating spaces every time in the box with him.
"It means that when the cross comes, the markers a lot of the time go with Munetsi and Larsen (Starand) is free to finish and this is teamwork."
Larsen and Pablo Sarabia scored a goal apiece for Wolves to slam the door shut on Ipswich's survival hopes.
Wolves have won their last three games, which has effectively sealed their place in the topflight.
Another Warriors player, Munashe Garananga, has also been praised after a solid display for his Dannish side Copenhagen, which fought out a 1-0 win over Nordsjælland on Sunday.

Coach Jacob Neestrup admitted that it is difficult to bench or leave out Garananga from the match-day squad, underlining the defender's importance.
Garananga started his first match for his team since November, having been restricted to substitute appearances.
“I’m not surprised. We’ve seen that in our pre-season, too. It’s tough to put him on the bench and out of the squad, because he’s been damn good for a long time,” Neestrup told Danish football publication Bold.
“He played a class game in Heidenheim (in the Europa Conference League) and is doing everything he can in training. He is training well, but right now, he just has to wait for his opportunity, and today, he executed well.
“We were smart, we were very solid. I think we were good in our pressure, high and low and we were good at defending our field.
“We were good at setting the game, too bad at creating chances, but extremely effective on the few opportunities we had, so all in all, I think we deserved to win."
With the win, Copenhagen moved to the top of the table with a two-point cushion over champions Midtjylland.
Garananga is staring at his first league title in Denmark since his move from Belgian side KV Mechelen.
Meanwhile, Warriors captain Marvelous Nakamba could return to action for his English Championship side Luton this weekend after a spell out due to a hip injury.
