FA Cup: Liam Keen's Wolves player ratings v Shrewsbury after dominant cup win

Liam Keen rates the Wolves players on their performance following the FA Cup win over Shrewsbury Town.

Sam Johnstone

The goalkeeper had very little to do and was not at fault for the Shrewsbury goal. He was fine with the ball at his feet.

Quiet: 6

Jackson Tchatchoua

This may have been Tchatchoua's last chance to impress, with Lima and R.Gomes fighting for his position, and he did not take it with an uninspiring display.

Uninspiring: 6

Matt Doherty

The experienced defender was solid and relatively untroubled by Shrewsbury, who offered little threat.

Solid: 7

Santi Bueno

S.Bueno dealt with everything in the air and on the floor very well with a physically strong performance.

Strong: 7

Ladislav Krejci

Krejci had a good game overall and caught the eye with his passing, as his lovely delivery set up Hwang's assist for the opening goal.

Passing: 7

David Moller Wolfe

Wolfe was reliable defensively and did well going forward, as he set up the sixth goal with a nice forward run.

Reliable: 7

Andre

Andre had good fight in his play and held the number six position well with good discpline.

Fight: 7

Joao Gomes

J.Gomes lacked a little bit of quality in forward areas at times, but found himself everywhere and running himself into the ground. He made Wolves tick.

Runner: 8

Jhon Arias

Arias was clumsy with the penalty situation, but he scored and assisted again in a very good performance. He is hitting some form.

In-form: 8

Hwang Hee-chan

Hwang's sloppy pass led to the Shrewsbury penalty and he has to improve in that area, but he was very dangerous throughout and set up the opening goal.

Assist: 7

Jorgen Strand Larsen

Three goals and an assist from the striker who was impressive in every department. He held the ball up, brought others into play, was a willing runner and had the golden touch in front of goal.

Hat-trick: 9
