Wolves player ratings: Subs make big impact in late win

We rate the players after Wolves claim late victory at Sheffield United.

JOSE SA

His handling is becoming a real concern. Got away with dropping the ball twice in the second half. Needs to sharpen up.

Drops 5

JACKSON TCHATCHOUA

Showed some character after what can’t have been an easy week. A long way from perfect but he kept battling away.

Fighting 5

NASSER DJIGA

In the right place to cut out a dangerous cross in the first half and also won several big headers. Brought off with what looked like an injury.

Steady 7

LADISLAV KREJCI

Fortunate to escape a second yellow after dragging down Peck. Still finding his feet after missing the start to the season.

Mixed 5

HUGO BUENO

The pick of the Wolves backline. Looked to get forward well and showed some composure on the ball.

Bright 7

MARSHALL MUNETSI

Missed Wolves’ best chance of the match before the goal when he shot straight at Cooper in the first half. Plenty of workrate, little quality.

Struggled 5

ANDRE

This felt a step forward. Looked better once Wolves had made the changes in the second half and played his part in the goal.

Solid 7

RODRIGO GOMES

Lively early on and his deliveries into the box in the first half caused problems, setting up Munetsi’s chance. Less effective in the second half.

Faded 6

FER LOPEZ

His quietest match of the season. Regularly dropped into the right-back position to receive the ball and could find no way through the home defence.

Frustrated 5

MATEUS MANE

Unlucky not to earn Wolves a penalty early in the second half when his flick hit the hand of McGuinness. Some lively moments.

Moments 6

ADAM ARMSTRONG

There could be no faulting the workrate, yet he does not have the same presence up front as Jimenez. Guilty of dropping too deep.

Peripheral 6

SUBSTITUTES

Jordan James 6 (for Munetsi, 63), Raul Jimenez 7 (for Gomes, 63), Kieran Trippier 7 (for Tchatchoua, 70), Tommy Doyle 7 (for Lopez, 70), Toti 7 (for Djiga, 70) Subs not used: Konan, Neave, Traore, Virginia (gk).
