Wolves 2 Leicester 1 – Player ratings
Following Wolves' 2-1 win over Leicester, Liam Keen rates the players on their performance.
Jose Sa - 8
Sa made a couple good saves and marshalled his box well. He was most impressive in the air, where he aggressively claimed several crosses.
Max Kilman - 6
Kilman was not quite at his best, compared to his high standards, but still dug in with his team-mates in the closing stages.
Conor Coady - 7
A solid showing from Coady who rallied his team-mates throughout and made some key clearances.
Romain Saiss - 8
Saiss was the pick of the bunch defensively and seemed to win every single header.
Nelson Semedo - 7
Semedo’s mistake handed Leicester the ball in the build-up for their goal, but overall he was fairly consistent.
Leander Dendoncker - 6
A very good first half-hour was followed by a few sloppy passes and Dendoncker was fortunate they were not punished.
Ruben Neves - 8
A man-of-the-match display from Neves who notched an excellent goal. He also made some key defensive tackles and interceptions, and got Wolves moving when going forward.
Joao Moutinho - 6
Following his injury Moutinho was not quite up to speed and was rightly taken off, but he also did not make any huge errors.
Rayan Ait-Nouri - 6
Offensively Ait-Nouri did well and helped set up the winner, but defensively he struggled. He has improved immensely with his defensive game but he still has work to do.
Daniel Podence - 8
Pushing Neves close for man-of-the-match, Podence was Wolves’ biggest attacking threat. He took up good positions and made space, while also scoring an excellent goal.
Raul Jimenez - 7
A fairly good showing from Jimenez, who is slowly finding some consistency, although he was not as threatening.
