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.
