Josh Griffiths

Settled into the contest well and good with ball at his feet. Blindsided as Neto pulled goal into his left corner. Unlucky with second. Fine late save.

6

Darnell Furlong

Combined well down right with Wallace on occasion. Long throw a weapon. Can be satisfied with his display.

6

Kyle Bartley

Dominant throughout for large part. Just unable to keep up with Cunha for second goal after trying offside trap. Tight.

7

Cedric Kipre

Put in a few wonderful challenges and looked at his confident best. Mostly matched Wolves' attacks, bar two decisive moments.

7

Conor Townsend

Could've showed Neto on to his right foot for the goal and couldn't make block.

6

Okay Yokuslu

One of the standout performers in blue and white. He really took the battle to Wolves. Played well.

7

Alex Mowatt

Like colleague Yokuslu started the game excellently and had Albion on top but imaginative corner leading to opener was undoing. Did everything else right.

7

Nathaniel Chalobah

Slightly surprise inclusion but justified it. Powerful running forward from midfield troubled Wolves.

7

Jed Wallace

Electric in the first half and Toti couldn't deal with his pace or movement. Some great deliveries. Corner for goal couldn't find him.

7

John Swift

A couple of times looked slow to react to ball but did well with it at times. Carried a threat with ball. Shot over from distance and denied late on.

6

Brandon Thomas-Asante

Spurned that major chance with 20 to go. Decent headed opening in first half went into ground and at Sa. Good physical battle with Dawson but little joy.

6

Substitutes

Tom Fellows (Chalobah, 67) Clever cut-back for Thomas-Asante chance. 6
