Watford vs Wolves Player Ratings: Wolves Player Ratings + Fans’ Reaction

Nuno Espirito Santo’s Wolverhampton Wanderers side were able to successfully surpass the test set for them by Watford as they emerged 2-1 away winners at Vicarage Road. Despite dominating possession, the home side were unable to impact the game too much in the final third. 

Wolves were deserved winners on the night thanks to a couple of brilliant goals from their prolific strikers. Both Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota were on the scoresheet and despite a goal in the 2nd half by Andre Gray for the hosts, they were unable to take advantage of a surge in momentum.

Here are the Wolverhampton Wanderers Player Ratings:

Rui Patricio 7

The Portuguese shot-stopper did superbly well to keep Gerard’s Deulofeu’s strike out but was helpless as Grey tapped it in.

Jonny Castro 8

The Spaniard has been in decent form this campaign and he did well with his bombarding runs down the left.

Ryan Bennett 7

Quite solid defensively, it was an individual error by Ryan Bennett that led to the Watford equaliser in the 2nd half. 

Conor Coady 9

Proved his worth to the side in the match today with some serious defending and fiery tackling. 

Willy Boly 8

The Frenchman’ performance can best be described as stubborn and big man refused to be beaten by Watford.

The Irishman was his usual self as he was a sheet bundle of energy on the flank from the opening minutes of the tie.

Leander Dendoncker 8

Used the ball with immense precision in the middle of the park and was sublime whenever he was needed.

Ruben Neves 9

Neves put in another masterful display for Wolves and his pass in for Jota was the stuff of Premier League legend. 

Joao Moutinho

Joao Moutinho 8

Strong in possession and relentless in his pressure and forward movement, the Portuguese veteran defied his age tonight.
