Liam Keen's Wolves player ratings v Aston Villa after derby day win

Liam Keen rates the Wolves players on their performance following the win over Villa.

Jose Sa

The goalkeeper had some difficult moments with his distribution, but had a quiet afternoon overall as Villa struggled to threaten.

Quiet: 6

Jackson Tchatchoua

The right-wing-back had a really poor first half and although he improved, and played a part in the first goal, he must do better.

Poor: 5

Yerson Mosquera

Mosquera put his body on the line, made plenty of blocks and tackles, and cleared one off the line in a fighting display.

Fighter: 7

Santi Bueno

S.Bueno continued his fine form with a composed display, as he defended resolutely and used the ball well when in possession.

Calm: 7

Toti Gomes

Toti put in a lot of hard work and running on his comeback from injury and overcame a few shaky moments when he had the ball.

Return: 6

Hugo Bueno

An excellent display from the left-wing-back, who offered a good threat in attack and put in the hard yards in defence.

Threat: 7

Andre

Andre ran hard for his team, looked after the ball well and had a lot of control in midfield, which helped Wolves' game.

Control: 7

Joao Gomes

J.Gomes silenced the critics with an energetic display that was full of heart, while he took his goal very well.

Heart: 8

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde

Bellegarde was lively throughout the game, played with a lot of energy, and linked the midfield and attack well.

Lively: 7

Mateus Mane

The teenager remains consistent with a strong display, with a lot of attacking threat, but also some good work defensively.

Consistent: 7

Adam Armstrong

Armstrong got an assist, but his best work came in how hard he worked for the team. He also did well on occasions at holding the ball up.

Hard-worker: 7

Tolu Arokodare (for Bellegarde, 81), Angel Gomes (for Andre, 89), Rodrigo Gomes (for Armstrong, 93).

Subs not used: Johnstone, Doherty, Olagunju, Lima, Wolfe, Edozie.
