Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
We hope you have enjoyed our live coverage of a dramatic Premier League win for Wolves. It's goodbye from us, and we'll catch you next time.
Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
It's a familiar story for Everton, who managed 15 shots to Wolves' 11, and seven attempts on target to the visitors' two, without finding the net. They desperately need to find a source of goals, having lost their first three games of a league season without scoring for the very first time. The Toffees' next league game is another big one at Sheffield United next Saturday. Wolves go to Crystal Palace one day later.

The full-time whistle sounds at Goodison Park, and Wolves are off the mark for the 2023-24 season with a vital 1-0 win over Everton! Substitute Kalajdzic was the hero, glancing Neto's cross home for his first goal in English football just over two minutes after entering the fray. What a moment for the Austrian, who suffered a serious injury on his Wolves debut last season and missed the rest of his first campaign with the club. Everton are left to rue several missed chances yet again, with Doucoure somehow being denied by a spectacular save from Sa when the game was goalless.

Sarabia goes for goal from the free-kick, and Pickford springs to his right to push it away. Everton hoist the ball forward, looking to construct one last attack...

Sarabia links up with Kalajdzic before being fouled on the edge of Everton's area. Surely Wolves have done enough to pick up their first win of the season?

Wolves have a chance to kill the contest as Sarabia capitalises on Tarkowski's slip and heads for goal, but he is crowded out on the edge of the box. Wolves then win a throw on the left, which will allow them to eat up some valuable seconds.

Everton are penning Wolves back and flinging crosses into the area now. Keane feels his shirt was being pulled as he sees a shot blocked on the turn, before Sa claims Young's delivery.
