Liam Keen's Wolves player ratings v Burnley as shot-stopper gets 8/10
Liam Keen rates the Wolves players on their win over Burnley.
Dan Bentley - 8
Replaced the injured Jose Sa and made some crucial interventions, particularly an excellent double-save from Rodriguez and Brownhill before half-time. Deserved his clean sheet.
Nelson Semedo - 6
Struggled early on against the lively Koleosho before the winger was withdrawn through injury. Got forward well but needed to create more.
Craig Dawson - 7
Another commanding performance at the heart of the defence. Dominant aerially and unlucky not to get an assist with a teasing cross from Sarabia’s second half free-kick.
Max Kilman - 7
A solid enough showing from the captain who won his duels and helped his side to a vital clean sheet. Will not have many easier games this season.
Toti Gomes - 6
Did what was asked of him defensively, but again was not needed often against a poor Burnley side. A good evening’s work all things considered.
Hugo Bueno - 5
Desperate to make things happen going forward, perhaps too much so at times as his end product lacked. Substituted late on with an injury.
Mario Lemina - 6
Drove Wolves forward with his tireless endeavour, perhaps should have tested the goalkeeper with a late first half chance. Picked up another yellow card after the break.
Joao Gomes - 5
Lucky that his goalkeeper bailed him out after a lapse of concentration in his own penalty area. Hard-working once again but with little quality in possession.
Pablo Sarabia - 5
Struggled to make a meaningful impact on his return to the side. Had Wolves’ best chance before the goal, but offered little else of note.
Matheus Cunha - 6
Tried all night to make things happen and laid on Hwang’s opener with a composed pass. Not afforded enough space to provide anymore magic touches in attacking areas.
Hee Chan Hwang - 7
Netted his eighth league goal of the season with a tidy finish past Trafford after 42 minutes. Offered little else during the 90 minutes but ended up being the difference between the two sides.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (For Sarabia, 78), 5, Boubacar Traore (For Cunha, 86), Matt Doherty (For Bueno, 90).
Subs not used: King, S.Bueno, Doyle, Chirewa, Silva, Kalajdzic.
