Aston Villa player ratings vs Wolves
Matt Maher gives his Villa ratings.
Emi Martinez
Had not been seriously tested before Wolves opened the scoring with their first effort on target. Saved a long-range effort late on.
Steady 6
Ezri Konsa
Will be frustrated with the goal after letting Hwang nip in ahead of him to meet the cross. Denied at the death by Sa.
Busy 7
Diego Carlos
Had one moment of worry in the second half against Neto, but was otherwise steady in the heart of defence. Won plenty of headers.
Anchor 7
Pau Torres
Got outpaced for the goal, but made swift amends when he scored at the other end a couple of minutes later. Didn’t enjoy facing Neto.
Redemption 6
Matty Cash
Tested Sa with an early volley, which the keeper saved smartly. Limited as an attacking outlet, but stuck to his task in defence.
Resolve 6
Boubacar Kamara
A slightly underwhelming performance from the France international, who was not as dominant or assured as in recent weeks.
Quiet 5
Douglas Luiz
Culpable for the Wolves goal when he dallied on the ball and allowed Hwang to nip in and win it. Not as dominant as in previous matches.
Lapse 6
Lucas Digne
Combined with McGinn against Neto and did a solid enough job for 50 minutes. Always a threat in attack with his crossing ability.
Dogged 7
John McGinn
Provided much of the entertainment in a first half short on quality with his running battle against Dawson.
Leader 7
Moussa Diaby
Started brightly but faded and taken off just past the hour-mark. A day when Villa struggled to get him on the ball in space.
Subdued 5
Ollie Watkins
A much quieter weekend for the striker, though he did provide the cross for Torres’ equaliser, force Sa into a super save and nearly claim the match-winner.
Almost 7
Substitutes
Nicolo Zaniolo 6 (for Diaby, 62), Youri Tielemans (for Kamara, 82), Leon Bailey (for Cash, 82). Subs not used: Chambers, Traore, Lenglet, Duran, Dendoncker, Olsen (gk).
