Wolves player ratings vs Everton

Rightfully earned plaudits from the head coach after an excellent save from Doucoure when the game was still goalless. Wolves’ man of the match.

Saves 8

Nelson Semedo

Stuck to his task against the energetic Dobbin and stayed disciplined after picking up a booking. Not much of a factor in the attacking third.

Dogged 6

Craig Dawson

Won several important headers and was in the right place more than once to clear danger. Did the basics well.

Assured 7

Max Kilman

Matched his central defensive partner for discipline and produced the ball over the top to set up Silva’s big second-half chance.

Cool 7

Hugo Bueno

An iffy start for the left-back on his first start of the season. Settled down and linked well with Rayan Ait-Nouri in the second half.

Improved 6

Joao Gomes

Picked up a booking for dissent in the first half and walked something of a tightrope after that. Will have better games.

Erratic 5

Mario Lemina

Dug in but this was a day when you would say Everton probably had the better of the midfield battle. Booked for dissent.

Battled 6

Pedro Neto

A fairly non-descript performance until he delivered a brilliant cross for the goal. Finally some quality to go with the effort.

Delivery 6

Matheus Cunha

A quiet performance from the Brazilian, who struggled to get into the match during the first half and only did a little better in the second.

Quiet 5

Hwang Hee-chan

The pick of Wolves’ attacking players in the first half, simply for his willingness to get stuck in. Continued hamstring troubles a concern.

Interrupted 6

Fabio Silva

A mirror of his afternoon against Brighton, netting from an offside position and then missing a golden chance. The season is young but Wolves need more.

Miss 5
