Led by Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored in the match, Fulham has already shown they are going to be a problem this year and will look to take another step forward this season after earning their promotion in the spring.

George Rossiter returns to dissect the individual performances in yesterdays's draw with Wolves.
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.

But Rodak spilled the ball when he collided with team-mate Tosin Adarabioyo, allowing Neto a run at goal. Missing penalties is part of the life of a football player.’ Last week he had one and scored; this afternoon, it was the moment to win the game but it is part of Mitro’s job. ‘That is part of the game. We had plenty of chances to do that,’ Lage said. Andreas Pereira showed some neat touches and Neeskens Kebano was Fulham’s biggest threat. The Molineux fans howled for the red card that would have compounded Mitrovic’s misery. He’d barely had a kick all afternoon, let alone a sniff of a decent chance. His penalty lacked the necessary power or direction, and Sa guessed correctly. He dashed back and brought down Morgan Gibbs-White from behind. After his penalty miss, Mitrovic’s fury bubbled over in stoppage time. Aleksandar Mitrovic has endured his fair share of frustration playing Premier League football.
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.
