Robert Sanchez Absolute run of the mill afternoon for the Spaniard. Had nothing of note to do all game except a last minute scare from Boly. Dealt with the odd cross that came his way with ease. A couple of dodgy clearances, though. 6/10

Joel Veltman - Steady performanc­e. Not troubled too much by Wolves’ frontline. Was targeted with long balls in behind him and beaten a few times. Solid overall. 6/10

Lewis Dunk - Stroll in the park for the captain. Read the game well to make some important intercepti­ons. Headed and cleared everything Wolves threw at him. Quick thinking to play a ball over the top for Welbeck who went on to win a penalty. A captain’s performanc­e. 9/10

Marc Cucurella - Energetic, positive and quality on the ball in attack and defence. Superb last ditch tracking back to deny Fabio Silva a clear goal-scoring opportunit­y. Came out with the ball in every tackle. Still making threatenin­g overlappin­g runs in the final minutes. Quality and confident performanc­e. 9/10

Solly March - Won the first penalty after a positive run saw his cross from the byline handled by Roman Saiss. Always a willing runner down that channel whether it be attacking or defending. Subbed off for Lamptey in the 86’. 7/10

Yves Bissouma Played that anchor role alongside Caicedo in what was a congested midfield. Put in a solid performanc­e, doing the dirty work including intercepti­ng, tackling and linking up play. Topped it off with a goal from the edge of the box. Everything you want and expect from the Malian. 8/10

Moisés Caicedo - Not offered a lot of space in the middle of the park but did well when on the ball. Set Welbeck up for a good opportunit­y after some tenacious high pressing. Played well in that anchor role alongside Bissouma. 7/10

Leandro Trossard - Argued the toss with Mac Allister over the second penalty and lost. Got on the scoresheet nonetheles­s after being swapped into Mwepu’s position in behind the striker (70’). Took his goal well after a good run in behind and some clever footwork saw him find space in the box. 7/10

Enock Mwepu - Unable to stamp his mark on the game playing just behind the striker. Found in tough to find pockets of space in that role. Subbed off for Webster (60’). 6/10

Alexis Mac Allister - The tale of two penalties for the Argentinia­n. Missed his first with a poor effort which clipped the outside of the post. However, had the bottle to step up and convert the second spot kick 10 minutes later. A threat in between the lines. 8/10

Danny Welbeck -Wasa problem for Wolves all game. Whether he was dropping deep to hold the ball up or running into the channels, he was a handful. Won the second penalty after a positive run saw him brought down by Willy Boly. Set Trossard up after more selfless forward play. 8/10

Tariq Lamptey Subbed on for March in the last few minutes. Not enough time to impact the game but good to see him get a cameo appearance. N/A

Pacal Gross - Subbed on for Trossard in the final few minutes. Not enough time to make an impact. N/A

Adam Webster Subbed on for Mwepu (60’). Had the tough task of marking Raul Jimenez but passed with flying colours. Nearly gave Hwang a golden opportunit­y but got back well to make amends. Flew through two hard tackles in quick succession and came out with the ball. 6/10
