Neto - (sub Jimenez 85): No time to make an impact. EPA

Orjan Nyland - 6: Almost gifted Wolves the lead when ball slipped out of hand when throwing out but Jota failed to capitalise. No chance with goal. Reuters

Ezri Konsa - 6: Right-back did OK up against the dangerous Jonny. Reuters

Kortney Hause - 7: Good game from the powerful defender who was up against an in-form Jimenez.. EPA

Tyrone Mings - 6: Clumsy early booking and resulting free-kick almost resulted in a goal for Jimenez. Reuters

Matt Targett - NA: Picked up hamstring injury in first 10 minutes. EPA

Marvelous Nakamba - 6: Zimbabwean midfielder put in a decent shift without really influencing the game. PA

Douglas Luiz - 8: As important to Villa as Grealish. Great engine, strong in the tackle and quality distribution from the centre-midfielder. Getty

Conor Hourihane - 5: Quiet performance and provided little service to the strikers. AP

Jack Grealish - 6: Given his preferred free role and covered some ground over the 90 minutes without much success. Had Villa's only shot on target comfortably saved by Patrício. Reuters

Mbwana Samatta - 5: Thankless task for Villa's attacking pair who were left to feed off crumbs. AFP

Keinan Davis - 5: Offered little threat but was starved of service. EPA

Neil Taylor (sub Targett 11) 7: Early introduction after Targett's injury. Did well up against a good player in Wolves wing-back Doherty. PA

Ahmed Elmohamady - (sub Konsa 60) 5: No repeat of substitute's goal heroics at Newcastle. Reauters

John McGinn - (sub Hourihane 60) 5: Still finding his form after returning from injury. AFP

Trezeguet - (sub Nakamba 82) NA: No time to make an impact. AFP

Anwar El Ghazi - (sub Davis 82) NA: No time to make an impact

Rui Patricio - 6: Barely had a save to make with Villa offering little threat going forward. EPA

Romain Saiss - 7: Played his part in an excellent Wolves defensive performance. Getty

Conor Coady - 8: Fine display from the Wolves captain. Coped easily with Villa's direct play and battering-ram forward pair. Great distribution from back

Willy Boly - 7: Solid from the big defender. One important block on Grealish to stop the Villa midfielder shooting at goal in second half. Reuters

Matt Doherty - 6: Blasted into side netting in first half when ball across box was much better option. Reuters

Leander Dendoncker - 8: Great finish for opening goal and could have scored another from a Moutinho corner soon after. Reuters

Diogo Jota - 5: Blazed woefully over the bar after Villa keeper threw ball straight to his feet in first half. PA

Jonny - 7: Spaniard was a real handful down the left. A constant menace. Getty

Ruben Neves - 7: Always busy in the centre of the park for Wolves. Reuters

Joao Moutinho - 7: Some nice link-up play and passing from the Portuguese midfielder. AFP

Raul Jimenez - 8: No goals this time but always a threat up front. Headed straight at Nyland in first half after clever free-kick from Moutinho. Lovely ball into box that led to the Dendoncker goal. AP

Adama Traore - (sub Jota 60) 7: Pace immediately caused problems for Villa. AFP

Neto - (sub Jimenez 85): No time to make an impact. EPA
