Wolves player ratings as Everton strike late to progress in Carabao Cup

JOAO VIRGINIA

Looked capable with his feet for most part. Outstanding reaction save from Barry before half-time but lucky with his feet after break. String of fine saves. Couldn’t get near Alcaraz winner.

Outstanding 8

JACKSON TCHATCHOUA

Tried to settle himself early on but booked for late foul on Grealish. A couple of good clearances but played with fire on a booking.

Fortunate 5

TOTI GOMES

A couple of fine challenges after the break as Everton pushed for breakthrough but Johnson got behind him for big chance. Alcaraz turned him easily for late winner.

Turned 5

LADISLAV KREJCI

Defended manfully in his 45 minutes before being withdrawn at the interval. Made several blocks and clearances as the hosts advanced.

Solid 6

GHISLAIN KONAN

Bright start to his debut with energy both defensively and in attack. Beaten once or twice but kept going on first run out for some time. Looks to have a decent cross.

Delivery 6

BOUBACAR TRAORE

Some neat combination play from the deepest midfielder. Was a solid base in Wolves' midfield and made several good recovery challenges.

Firefighter 7

JORDAN JAMES

Disciplined work at times from the midfielder with good energy to cover well. Very willing with and without the ball with some useful minutes.

Useful 6

TOMMY DOYLE

Busy and industrious play from the midfield who tried to make things happen with the ball. Decent late strike shovelled away by Pickford.

Steady 6

TAWANDA CHIREWA

A willing outlet on Wolves' left with a rare start. Decent energy and footwork, at times lacked final ball but looked bright and was a threat. Tired

Bright 6

SEAN NEAVE

Unable to find Jimenez in early break but looked lively. Full of running and showed lively skill. Footwork took loanee into some promising positions. Made Armstrong chance.

Exciting 7

RAUL JIMENEZ

Surprise inclusion with derby in mind. Decent early free-kick narrowly over but night soured by worrying knee injury before half-time. Anxious waiting game now.

Worry 6
