Wolverhampton Wanderers may have lost against Manchester City, but many Wolves players emerged from the game with plenty of credit.

The Molineux outfit delivered an impressive display and could’ve easily left the Etihad Stadium with at least a point.

The only goal in the game was a controversial penalty for City, which came about following a lengthy VAR check.

It ruled Joao Moutinho had handled Bernardo Silva’s cross, even though the ball appeared to have made contact with his armpit.

Raheem Sterling converted from 12 yards and it proved to be the only goal of the encounter.

Wolves also had to play half the game with ten men after Raul Jimenez’s dismissal for two quickfire yellow cards late in the first half.

Nonetheless, there were positives from the game, and Wolves fans were especially delighted with Max Kilman’s display.

The 24-year-old more than held his own against City’s world-class front line, and they struggled to get past him.

Kilman weighed in with numerous interceptions, blocks and clearances.

The 6ft 3in defender also came so close to grabbing an injury-time equaliser.

Kilman met Daniel Podence’s left-wing cross with a thumping header, which drew a great save out of Ederson.

And he did well despite a nasty clash of heads with teammate Ruben Neves late in the first half.

Here is what some Wolves fans said on Twitter about Kilman’s display:
