Wolves 2 Leeds 4 – Player ratings

Following the loss to Leeds, Liam Keen rates the players on their performance.

Published

Jose Sa - 5

Sa was not at fault for any of the goals and left stranded by his team-mates.

Nelson Semedo - 5

The right-back was poor for the opening Leeds goal and never really recovered.

Craig Dawson - 5

Dawson got caught out on a few occasions and was rightly taken off at half-time, after picking up a booking.

Max Kilman - 6

Kilman was probably the pick of the defenders against Leeds and was let down by many around him.

Jonny Castro Otto - 4

His goal aside, Jonny really struggled defensively. He had moments going forward, especially in the first half, but his performance overall, and his red card, were very poor.

Mario Lemina - 5

The midfielder gave the ball away too often in the first half, and settled in the second, in a very deep position.

Ruben Neves - 6

Neves was instrumental in Wolves’ brief comeback with some very neat passes. It was bizarre to see him come off at such an important time in the game.

Joao Gomes - 6

Gomes could have reacted to stop Ayling for the second goal, but overall he was one of Wolves’ better midfielders with some tough tackles and impressive energy.

Pedro Neto - 4

It was not a surprise to see Neto come off at half-time, after a very quiet display. He often looked backwards with his passes and was not forward thinking enough in his play.

Raul Jimenez - 5

The striker was isolated at times, and quiet at other points. He looked better with Cunha alongside him in the second half.

Daniel Podence - 4

Podence had some dangerous moments, but gave the ball away so many times, in both attacking and defending positions – putting Wolves on the back foot.
