Rui Patricio

A clean sheet for the Portuguese and a pretty routine afternoon on the whole. Leicester had chances, but nothing that forced Patricio into major action. 7

Leander Dendoncker

His versatility has always been of great use to Wolves, and the Belgian slotted into the back three with little fuss.

Losing Boly to injury is a big blow, but Dendoncker did well and will likely now have an extended run at centre-half again. 7

Conor Coady

Kept Iheanacho quiet in the hour he was on the pitch, and looked assured against the fit-again Vardy once he came on too. Steady from the skipper. 7

Max Kilman

Had a tough time against Arsenal, playing as a left-back, but Kilman displayed his class back in his proper position.

Has developed into a fine centre-half who truly belongs in the Premier League. Made a superb block to deny Barnes in the second half. 8

Nelson Semedo

Sharp to prevent Barnes getting on the end of a deep cross in a good spell for the Foxes.

Gradually showing signs of an understanding with Traore. 7

Ruben Neves

Maybe should have done better with an early volley and also saw a free-kick hit the wall.

Managed to make some well-timed interceptions in the middle of the park, though, and was busy. 7

Joao Moutinho

Similarly should have done better with a chance inside the box but also covered plenty of ground, while passing it well enough. 7

Jonny Castro Otto

It was only 45 minutes, but Otto played like he had never been away.

Recovering very quickly as far as ACL surgeries go, he brought about a sense of calm and showed how much he has been missed. Great to have him back in the fold. 8

Adama Traore

Unplayable for a large chunk of the second half. Leicester's only way to stop him was to hack him down. For that period, it was the much-feared Traore of last season.

Hopefully more of the same is to come. 8

Willian Jose

A quiet afternoon for the January signing. Never really got into the game before being replaced by Silva. 6

Pedro Neto

Went on a sublime run before teeing up Traore, whose shot was blocked, in the first half. He looked very dangerous as he had the beating of Pereira for a while. 8

Subs

Ki-Jana Hoever (for Otto, 46)

Not as solid as Otto, but his introduction did not disrupt Wolves too much. 6

Fabio Silva (for Jose, 61)

Should have scored. Good save from Schmeichel, but Silva should not have given him the chance. 5

Morgan Gibbs-White (for Neto, 88)
