Liam Keen's Wolves player ratings v Arsenal as one gets 4/10
Following the opening day loss to Arsenal, Liam Keen rates the Wolves players on their performance.


Jose Sa - 4
The goalkeeper will be disappointed with his distribution and his hand in both goals, on a bad start at the Emirates.
Matt Doherty - 7
One of Wolves’ best players on the day, Doherty was defensively solid and also became a key component in most of Wolves’ attacks.
Yerson Mosquera - 6
On his Premier League debut, Mosquera did relatively well with plenty of strong tackles, but he was taking a lot of risks. Some of his off the ball antics were unwise.
Toti Gomes - 5
A really poor first half from Toti, which was full of mistakes, was followed up by a much stronger second half.
Rayan Ait-Nouri - 6
The defender was quiet until he came into his own in the second half and took the game by the scruff of the neck with a lot of attacking involvement.
Mario Lemina - 6
A hard-working performance from the skipper who put in a lot of effort and was unfortunate with some fouls given against him.
Joao Gomes - 6
After his early booking, Gomes handled himself well in difficult circumstances.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde - 5
Bellegarde picked up some good positions in the number 10 role but was slightly frustrating with the number of times he gave the ball away.
Hwang Hee-chan - 7
Playing on the right, Hwang created the best first half chance and was heavily involved in most attacks in the second half.
Rodrigo Gomes - 6
Gomes had a much better second half and linked-up nicely with Ait-Nouri. There is more to come.
Jorgen Strand Larsen - 6
The new striker had one big chance saved, but he did will with the header. He could have done better at holding the ball up but he is a threat.
