Fulham v Wolves player ratings: Another struggle for the Cottagers, a late moment of magic from Adama Traore

Fulham remain deep in relegation trouble after stoppage time winner for the visitors

• 

  FULHAM RATINGS: Alphonse Areola 5 – The Fulham goalkeeper was easily beaten at his near post by Adama Traore’s shot. Given that it was the only save of note he had to make, he won't be happy. PA

• 

  Ola Aina 7 – Solid and reliable on the right side of the defensive three for Fulham. Very little got past the former Torino man. Getty

• 

  Joachim Andersen 6 – While he was beaten to the ball for Willian Jose’s disallowed goal, it was an otherwise decent night’s work for the towering defender. He helped contain Wolves in the second period – until Traore’s late strike. Getty

• 

  Terence Kongolo 6 – Guilty of one or two over-zealous tackles, but that doesn’t take the shine off what was an impressive display in the Fulham backline. AP

• 

  Kenny Tete 5 – Didn’t contribute in an attacking capacity, despite playing as a marauding wing-back. PA

• 

  Harrison Reed 5 – Was replaced in the second half after misplacing a number of passes early on. Worked hard for the cause, but frequently to little avail. PA

• 

  Mario Lemina 6 – A slightly flat outing from the midfielder, who lacked a cutting edge in the final third. EPA

• 

  Antonee Robinson 7 – Ventured forward whenever possible. His fizzed-in low crosses caused plenty of problems for the Wolves defenders - especially in the first half. AP

• 

  Ruben Loftus-Cheek 6 – Didn’t function effectively in the attack despite playing in a slightly more advanced role. His movement was good, but the England international still seems to lack a defined role in the side. AFP

• 

  Bobby Reid 5 – Did his best to support Mitrovic up front, but the solidity of the Wolves backline hindered his ability to link play. AFP

• 

  Aleksandar Mitrovic 6 – The ball never quite fell right for the Serbian forward, who largely had to feed off scraps as the home side struggled to create chances. PA

• 

  SUBS: Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (Loftus-Cheek, 63) 6 – Added good energy and impetus to Fulham’s midfield late on. Getty

• 

  Josh Maja (Reed, 74) 5 – Was unable to work a goalscoring opportunity. PA

• 

  Ivan Cavaleiro (Aina, 84) N/A – Failed to inject a bit of much-needed creativity late on against his former employers. PA

• 

  WOLVES RATINGS: Rui Patricio 6 – Had a very quiet night after barely touching the ball throughout the full 90 minutes. PA

• 

  Nelson Semedo 8 – One of the best performers on the pitch. Solid defensively and menacing whenever he was bombing forward, the former Benfica player looked accomplished in every department. PA

• 

  Conor Coady 7 – The captain made a number of excellent last-ditch blocks and crucially denied Mitrovic of the space he craved. AP

• 

  Romain Saiss 7 – Positionally disciplined for the entire 90 minutes. He has certainly grown into a reliable lieutenant for Wolves alongside Coady. PA

• 

  Rayan Ait-Nouri 6 – Wasn’t able to get forward on too many occasions. Made very few defensive mistakes to the youngster’s credit. PA

• 

  Ruben Neves 6 – Not his usual influential self in the Wolves midfield, but the Portuguese star did a fine job of protecting the backline in the final minutes of the match. Getty

• 

  Leandro Dendoncker 8 – The 25-year-old was arguably Wolves’ best defender tonight, anticipating danger superbly. His distribution was also very tidy indeed. AP

• 

  Pedro Neto 6 – Was unfortunately replaced in the first half due to an injury. AP

• 

  Daniel Podence 7 – Picked up excellent positions and assisted Willian Jose’s disallowed goal. Was a threat throughout. PA

• 

  Adama Traore 8 – Scorer of Wolves’ last gasp winner. The former Barcelona man thrashed the ball beyond Areola in spectacular fashion to end his season-long goal drought in style. EPA

• 

  Willian Jose 7 – The forward was very unlucky to see his goal ruled out for a marginal offside infringement, but the emphatic nature of his header does at least show that the confidence is there. EPA

• 

  Fabio Silva (Neves, 78) N/A – Was frequently dispossessed during his late cameo for the away side. Getty

• 

  Joao Moutinho (Neto, 32) 8 – Kept things neat and tidy in the middle of the park, before assisting Traore’s late winner with a perfectly weighted through ball. Reuters

• 

  Morgan Gibbs-White (Podence, 74) N/A – His direct play added a new dimension to the away side’s attack. Getty

Scott Parker insisted Fulham will come out fighting after Adama Traore's last-gasp winner left the Cottagers three points adrift of Premier League safety.

In added time, Traore escaped down the right before firing home to secure his side's first victory since mid-February.

Wolves striker Willian Jose had earlier been denied his first goal since joining on loan when his well-weighted header in first-half stoppage time was ruled out for an offside by Daniel Podence following a VAR review.

On their third opportunity to move out of the bottom three for the first time since December, Fulham again fell short, slumping to their fourth successive defeat.

Parker said: "It's a painful one tonight and you obviously see that at the end of the game with the scenes of this team and how desperate this team are to be successful.

"I asked the team to show fight, to show desire, to leave everything on the pitch tonight and to a man, we did that. It's a cruel side of football sometimes.

"We've got a fighting chance because of what you see at the end of the game, a team and a group of players that are desperate. This is a group of players that feel passionately about being successful this year, and with that spirit and with that desire you've always got a chance."
