Wolves player ratings vs Norwich: Bruno Lage's toothless attack disappoints

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been knocked out of the FA Cup after losing 1-0 to Norwich City at Molineux.

Kenny McLean's goal in first half additional time handed the visitors the lead, and without reply from Bruno Lage's side, Wolves were dumped out of the competition in disappointing fashion.

The 3-0 win at Vicarage Road against fellow relegation strugglers Watford pulled the Canaries above the dotted line and would have injected fresh hope into their quest to avoid the dreaded trap door come May.

In the FA Cup, Smith’s side beat League One team Charlton at The Valley in the third round and were looking to reach the fifth round of the competition for only the second time in 10 years with a positive result against Wolves this afternoon.

On his 300th appearance for Wolves, captain Conor Coady was spraying the ball and stretching the game, but the first 15 minutes passed without any sort of opportunity for either side to break the deadlock.

That was until Norwich flipped the Wolves defence and Idah - who scored his first goal of the season a few weeks ago - should have put Smith's side ahead. Milot Rashica's well-timed pass allowed Idah to take his time and
