Sam Johnstone

The goalkeeper was not tested on too many occasions, but when called upon he was solid and commanded his box well.

Commanding: 7

Matt Doherty

Back into the side and Doherty proved why his experience and Premier League nous will still be important to this team.

Recalled: 7

Santi Bueno

Despite the odd error, Bueno was far more aggressive and put his body on the line for his team in a solid display.

Aggressive: 7

Ladislav Krejci

The summer signing continues his good start to life at Wolves with an assured display full of technical quality and physical fight.

Quality: 7

Hugo Bueno

Bueno continues to offer an attacking outlet and is getting to the byline in impressive fashion. Defensively he has also made few slip ups.

Impressive: 7

Andre

Arguably the best player on the pitch, Andre proved why he must start in this team with an energetic display in which he won tackles across the park.

Energetic: 8

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde

Although Bellegarde does lack some quality at times, he worked hard for the team and did get Wolves up the pitch, particularly in the first half.

Improved: 7

Marshall Munetsi

Munetsi bulldozed his way through Everton in the first half and was aggressive in the right areas. He also popped up for a good goal.

Goalscorer: 7

Jhon Arias

It was not a poor Arias performance, but he is still bubbling under and we are yet to see his full potential in a Wolves shirt.

Under par: 6

Hwang Hee-chan

Hwang got into some good attacking areas and worked tirelessly for the team, but did lack some quality at the important moments.

Good areas: 6

Jorgen Strand Larsen

The forward held the ball up well at times and tried to get into the game, but was slightly isolated in a difficult first half.

Isolated: 6

Substitutes

R.Gomes (for Hwang, 68), 6, Tolu Arokodare (for Larsen, 68), 7, Toti Gomes (for Arias, 81), Joao Gomes (for Munetsi, 81), Emmanuel Agbadou (for Andre, 87).

Subs not used: Bentley, Hoever, Wolfe, Lopez.
