6/10 for both His versatility will continue to prove invaluable to Silva. 7/10 4/10. The day this man drops below a 7/10 will put me in a state of shock. 9/10 – Man of the match. 7.5/10.

Following the goalless draw with Fulham, Liam Keen rates the players on their performance.

Hwang had a good first 20 minutes and then tailed off. Hwang Hee-chan - 6 He won countless duels and covered all thirds of the field. Pedro Neto - 6 Giving away the penalty was very sloppy from Ait-Nouri, who is struggling so far this season. His penalty save proved decisive and prevented Wolves from suffering a damaging late loss.
