Paul Jones Made one superb save from Henry and looked comfortable. His kicking improved a great deal since he struggled against Portsmouth.
Lee Naylor Another good performance. Dealt with Arsenals threat well for 60 minutes - did as well as expected when the quality of the opposition is taken into account.
Denis Irwin Came very close with two free-kicks. What he lacked of pace he made up with his vast experience.
Paul Butler Was superb in the air and defended well. A typical Butler performance.
Jody Craddock Was outpaced by Henry for the second goal, but defended well in the whole. Played a part in the Wolves goal.
Alex Rae A fantastic performance. Rae never seems to let his standards drop, came close to winning the man of the match award.
Mark Kennedy A vast improvement. His service into the box improved and he protected Lee Naylor well.
Colin Cameron Ran his socks off and help contain the fast Arsenal forwards. Played one superb ball through to Ganea just before the break.
Kenny Miller Played as a right-winger and was at fault for the first Arsenal goal. However he improved and looked a big threat.
Carl Cort A good and steady home debut. Had one superb chance to take Wolves into the lead but his shot was saved by Lehmann.
Vio Ganea A superb performance from the Romanian International. Took his goal very well and ran his socks off. Shame he was booked for celebrating his goal. Man Of The Match.
Steffen Iversen Replaced Carl Cort. Came on when the game was beyond reach and failed to make any real impression on the game.
Sub 2 Not Used
