Burnley vs Wolves Player Ratings: Clash Ends in Draw
Burnley picked up crucial points in their relegation battle once again, but Vincent Kompany will be looking at the game as two points dropped.
They took the lead in the first half, but a controversial freekick saw Wolverhampton hit back just before the break. The two sides could not get the ball into the back of the net in the second half and had to settle for a point each.
Kompany was furious with the referees and said:
“Don’t get me on referees again! But if we have to, of course, it was an issue. If you do a pirouette and you fall on your own, absolutely no contact made, then it’s just not a foul, I think we can all agree on this. But then as well the referee is in the best position ever, a really good position, he sees it, I can see it from three times as far as he is and for some reason, there’s a decision made out of nothing. Then I look at my own team, and how we defend the set-play, that’s always the case. But yes, it’s a repeat and it doesn’t make it any easier.”
Here are the player ratings from the match:
Burnley Player Ratings:
Arijanet Murić – 7 | The hero from the Chelsea match did not have a lot to do in the game and made just one save.
Vitinho – 8 | The defender came in for Lorenz Assignon and performed much better than expected. He was the pick of the backline for the home side.
Dara O’Shea – 7.5 | The Irishman got a shot in the game, but could not repeat his heroics from the Chelsea game. However, he was on top of his game once again in the defence.
Maxime Estève – 6.5 | Should have done a lot better for the goal Wolves scored. He was giving away too many fouls in the game.
Charlie Taylor – 7 | Spent most of his time in the Wolves half, but could not create enough chances.
Lyle Foster – 7 | Completed most of his dribbles in the game, but was unable to get on the scoresheet.
Josh Cullen – 7 | Another hero from the Chelsea game who struggled to make an impact. He did well in the midfield but could not get them the win.
Sander Berge – 7.5 | A much better performance from the midfielder this week and easily one of the best players on the pitch.
Jacob Bruun Larsen – 8 | Scored a stunning goal to help his side take the lead.
Wilson Odobert – 7 | Played the full game but did not manage to get on the scoresheet despite having two shots on target.

Wolverhampton Player Ratings:
José Sá – 8 | The Wolves keeper was the busiest of the two on the pitch and was key for them picking up a point on Tuesday.
Nélson Semedo – 7 | Got booked early in the second half for time-wasting but managed to play the full game without getting sent off.
Max Kilman – 7.5 | Pick of the Wolves defenders on Tuesday and he was easily one of the best on the pitch too.
Toti Gomes – 6.5 | Hard a tough time marking Pdobert and Fofana, but got the help when needed.
Hugo Bueno – 6.5 | Similar to Toti, but the left-back had trouble handing Foster more than Fofana.
Matt Doherty – 7 | Gary O’Neil had to use the Irishman as a right-winger as he was without Pedro Neto once again but he failed to make an impact.
Mario Lemina – 6.5 | The midfielder failed to make much of an impact in the game as he found it hard to create chances.
João Gomes – 6.5 | Similar to Lemina, Gomes failed to make an impact in the midfield as he could not make a single key pass.
Rayan Aït Nouri – 7.5 | Scored a brilliant goal to help WOlves level things up in the game and was good overall.

Leon Chiwome – 6 | The youngster had just a shot on goal in his 76th minutes on the pitch, but it was off target.
