Impact Armstrong got the nod up top and gave Wolves a reliable outlet all afternoon, hounding Villa's build-up and battling for every long ball to ease the pressure. His movement and engine kept Wolves connected while they sat deep and waited for their moment to break. He didn't find the net, but his relentless work rate laid the groundwork for Joao Gomes' opener and the late counterattack that put the game away. Armstrong has now delivered two assists across his last five Premier League appearances.

Rodrigo Gomes - Scores late goal Friday Gomes scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Friday's 2-0 victory against Aston Villa.

Impact Gomes checked in for just a minute off the bench in Friday's showdown against the Villains and made it count, burying a stoppage-time breakaway to seal the two-goal cushion. The strike capped Wolves' commitment to defending as a unit before hitting with pace and purpose once Villa pushed numbers forward. His late dagger flipped a tight contest into a statement win, marking his second goal of the season after finding the net in the third match of the campaign against Everton in late August.

Joao Gomes - Scores goal in win Gomes scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 2-0 victory versus Aston Villa.

Impact Gomes broke the deadlock just past the hour with a thunderous strike that smashed off the underside of the crossbar and in, flipping the script of the match in Wolves' favor. It marked his first league goal of the season and completely shifted the momentum. Beyond the goal, he imposed himself in midfield with relentless intensity as Wolves won the key duels against Villa, adding one tackle, one interception, one block and three shots (one on target).

Jose Sa - Keeps clean sheet in victory Sa recorded four saves and secured a clean sheet in Friday's 2-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact Sa delivered a clean sheet as Wolves absorbed long defensive stretches and still kept Villa from generating many true high danger looks in Friday's battle. He was sharp off his line and decisive in the air while the game hung in the balance, then showed veteran poise managing the closing stages after Wolves grabbed the lead. The shutout highlighted a full team defensive grind on a night where they were clinical with their chances. Sa finished with four saves, locking down his fourth clean sheet of the season through 17 appearances. The keeper will aim to carry that momentum into Tuesday's showdown with Liverpool.

Morgan Rogers - Four shots in loss Rogers recorded four shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-0 defeat versus Wolverhampton.

Impact Rogers got the nod up front and looked to spark Villa in a scrappy, rain-soaked battle, but Wolves' compact block kept him from finding many clean looks in dangerous areas. That said, he still let four shots fly (two on target), marking the sixth time this season he's hit that volume, yet his recent dip in form continued as he's now gone four straight appearances across all competitions without a goal or an assist.

Emiliano Martinez - Beaten twice against Wolves Martinez made no saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-0 loss versus Wolverhampton.

Impact Martinez was picked apart around the hour mark when Joao Gomes ripped a shot in off the underside of the crossbar, a finish that left him with no real shot to keep it out. He could only watch late as Wolves broke in transition and substitute Rodrigo Gomes buried the counter in stoppage time to put the game away. Villa dominated possession for long stretches but gave him little support to swing the momentum back, and with just two clean sheets in his last 15 appearances across all competitions, he will be desperate to flip that ugly run on Wednesday against Chelsea.

Andre - Suffers apparent injury Andre went down in the 89 minute before being forced off during Friday's 2-0 win over Aston Villa due to an apparent hamstring injury, according to AS.

Impact Andre was unable to see out Friday's clash against the Villains after pulling up and hitting the turf with what looked like a hamstring issue. The full extent of the injury is still unclear and it could end up being nothing more than late-game cramps, but it's a situation that needs close monitoring given that he's a locked-in starter in the Wolves' midfield engine room. If he's forced to miss any time, Angel Gomes would likely be in line for an expanded role and increased minutes in the center of the park.
