Wolves player ratings: Two 4s and five 5s in West Ham defeat
George Bennett provides his Wolves player ratings from their 4-2 defeat against West Ham United at the London Stadium.
Jose Sa
Spilled a corner into the goalmouth in the first half and was rescued by the whistle, but was lobbed by Divine Mukasa’s deflected effort.
Lobbed: 4
Jackson Tchatchoua
Made a crucial early intervention inside the box to deny Joel Piroe and set-up Wolves’ second goal with a smart run and cross.
Threat: 6
Nasser Djiga
The better of the two centre-backs on the night, but was unfortunate to loop Mukasa’s second half effort over his goalkeeper in an attempt to block.
Unfortunate: 6
Toti Gomes
Diced with danger on a couple of occasions and was dragged out of position in the build-up to the Hammers’ third goal.
Poor: 4
Hugo Bueno
Had a difficult evening up against Jarrod Bowen and sat off far too much whenever West Ham attacked down his side.
Passive: 5
Andre
Guilty of tripping Piroe inside the box to concede the penalty that led to the Hammers’ second in what was an off-night for the Brazilian.
Off-night: 5
Marshall Munetsi
Made a crucial goal-line clearance at 1-0 and halved the deficit on the cusp of half-time with an unerring finish from 20 yards.
Good: 7
Rodrigo Gomes
Showed promise in flashes but struggled to build on his excellent brace against Stoke, as he was replaced on the hour.
Flashes: 5
Fer Lopez
Fired into the side netting from a tight angle early in the second half and had a hand in the second goal when he released Tchatchoua on the right.
OK: 6
Mateus Mane
Hit the crossbar with an effort at the back post and forced a smart save from Mads Hermansen from distance, but faded in the second half.
Faded: 6
Raul Jimenez
Hit the crossbar with a first half volley but looked off the pace at times on a difficult evening for the Mexican marksman.
Struggled: 5
Substitutes
Adam Armstrong (for R Gomes, 59) - 5
His introduction failed to have the desired effect as he touched the ball just five times.
Jordan James (for Jimenez, 64) - 6
Made an immediate impact when his run to meet Tchatchoua's low cross forced Mavropanos to put through his own net.
Tommy Doyle (for Munetsi, 65) - 6
Neat and tidy in possession and had a decent sight of goal with a deflected shot in stoppage time.
Tawanda Chirewa (for Mane, 78)
Unused: Virginia, S Bueno, Traore, Lima, Krejci.
