Wolves 2 Brentford 0 – Player ratings

Jose Sa - 7

The goalkeeper would have had a higher rating if not for a couple worrying moments, but overall he did well.

Nelson Semedo - 8

A very solid display from Semedo. He could have done a bit more going forward, but defended very well.

Craig Dawson - 9

A huge display from Dawson, who once again made several key blocks and tackles.

Max Kilman - 9

Having the captaincy in the last two games, Kilman has been superb. Strong in the tackle, powerful in the air and his positioning was excellent.

Toti Gomes - 8

It is Toti’s shirt to lose at left-back after another very effective performance. He kept it simple and defended with heart.

Matheus Nunes - 9

This is what we’ve been waiting for from Nunes, two excellent performances in a row. His assist summed him up and he is finally having an impact.

Joao Gomes - 8

Gomes is a special talent – Wolves have a young gem on their hands. He won everything in midfield and provided a superb cover for the defence.

Mario Lemina - 8

A strong, composed and athletic performance from Lemina, who covered every blade of grass.

Pablo Sarabia - 6

Certainly not a bad performance, but not Sarabia’s best. He looked after the ball well at times, but did not get up to speed in the game to have an impact.

Matheus Cunha - 6

Cunha put in the hard yards and got into good positions, but did not have as big an impact as he would have liked.

Diego Costa - 9

In what must be Costa’s stand-out performance in a Wolves shirt, he was superb. He held the ball up, won his battles and linked-up with his team-mates. His goal was slightly fortunate, but was a reward for his efforts.
