Wrexham Player Ratings: O’Brien And Cleworth shine in Wolves draw

Lewis O’Brien and Max Cleworth shine as Phil Parkinson’s side drew 1–1 with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the STōK Cae Ras.

O’Brien cancelled out Adam Armstrong’s opener, while Anthony Patterson made important saves as Wolves pushed for a winner. Wrexham also had opportunities to take all three points, most notably through Kieffer Moore.

Anthony Patterson - 7.5

Important saves from Wrexham’s number 1 helped to secure the point. Saved from Armstrong and Mateus Mané before the opener, then denied Fer López’s header during Wolves’ second-half pressure.

Max Cleworth - 8.0

Excellent game, completed the match as the hosts withstood sustained late pressure, helping ensure Armstrong’s first-half strike remained Wolves’ only breakthrough.

Joe Worrall - 6.5

Contributed in attack when his knockdown created an opportunity for Ollie Rathbone.

Callum Doyle - 7.0

Offered a threat beyond his defensive duties. Tested José Sá after carrying possession forward and delivered the free-kick from which Moore missed a major opportunity.

Issa Kaboré - 7.5

Supplied the cross for O’Brien’s equaliser. Lively, once again out wide for Wrexham, is becoming one of the first on the team sheet.

George Dobson - 6.5

Almost connected with Moore’s low delivery shortly after the restart. Made way for Ben Sheaf as Parkinson refreshed his midfield after 77 minutes.

Ben Whiteman - 7.0

Solid performance in the middle of the park against a strong Wolves side, before being replaced by Matty James in the triple substitution.

Ollie Rathbone - 6.5

Dragged an effort narrowly wide after Worrall’s knockdown. Replaced by George Thomason after 64 minutes.

Jacques Ekomié - 7.0

Like Kaboré, looked lively out wide, though unable to produce any decisive moments.

Lewis O’Brien - 8.0

Headed home Kaboré’s cross and later forced another save from Sá. Looked dangerous on and off the ball.

Kieffer Moore - 6.5

Created an opening for Dobson but missed a glorious close-range opportunity himself.
