Wolves 1 Villa 1 – Player ratings

Although there were one or two worrying moments, Sa once again made a number of superb saves to keep Wolves in the game.

Nelson Semedo - 5

Semedo’s weakness at defending the back post hindered Wolves again, as it resulted in Villa’s equaliser and almost resulted in a Villa winner.

Max Kilman - 7

One or two small errors aside, Kilman was solid throughout, despite being a left-footer playing on the right side. His versatility will be key.

Craig Dawson - 7

Fresh from a masterclass in stopping Erling Haaland, Dawson was effective again in keeping Watkins quiet.

Toti Gomes - 7

Toti was consistent again and used his positioning and athleticism well against tough opponents.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - 6

A decent first half, but off at half-time, Ait-Nouri did not get into the swing of this fixture in order to make a big impact.

Joao Gomes - 7

Gomes ran himself into the ground again and despite some sloppy moments in possession, he marshalled the defence well.

Mario Lemina - 7

Lemina was on course for big rating, and perhaps a seven is generous for someone who got sent off, but he was excellent until his late red card.

Hwang Hee-chan - 8

Hwang once again found himself on the scoresheet with excellent movement and positioning. He is on superb form right now.

Matheus Cunha - 7

Cunha does a lot of work in this team to make the system and style work for those around him, but his goal threat is next to nothing.

Pedro Neto - 8

A carbon copy of his goal against Luton and assist against Manchester City, Neto’s dangerous run down the right flank resulted in Hwang’s goal.

Matt Doherty (for Ait-Nouri, 45), 6, Boubacar Traore (for Gomes, 69), 7, Sasa Kalajdzic (for Cunha, 76), 7, Fabio Silva (for Hwang, 85).
