Following the defeat to Manchester City, Liam Keen rates the Wolves players on their performance.

Jose Sa - 5

Despite conceding five goals, the goalkeeper did make a handful of good saves to prevent further embarrassment for Wolves.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - 5

The defender gave away a penalty that started the rout, but did have some good moments going forward as Wolves tried to get back into the game.

Nelson Semedo - 4

Giving away the second penalty and getting caught out defensively, Semedo had an evening to forget.

Max Kilman - 4

Kilman was pulled all over the place by Haaland and struggled to contain the striker. A difficult day at the office for the skipper.

Toti Gomes - 4

As he gave away possession for the fifth goal, it capped off a disappointing performance from Toti who was consistently out of position.

Hugo Bueno - 5

The defender did little wrong in or out of possession, but also had very little impact on proceedings.

Boubacar Traore - 6

Traore put in some strong tackles and was full of energy, despite chasing City shadows. He at least put in a lot of effort on a difficult day.

Mario Lemina - 5

Off at half-time having struggled to get a grip on the game, Lemina was saved for another day. Not his best display in a Wolves shirt.

Joao Gomes - 5

Gomes was also full of energy but too poor in possession. He gave the ball away too many times and put pressure on his defence.

Matheus Cunha - 4

Cunha gave the ball away for the second goal and was very poor in possession. He was frustrated with his team-mates, but failed to impact the game himself.

Hwang Hee-chan - 6

Hwang was quiet throughout and looked isolated up front, but he worked hard for the team and scored a good goal.
