Now Everton go close! Doucoure puts Danjuma through, but Dawson does well to slow his advance and force him wide, from where he is unable to beat Sa. We've got a game on our hands now!

WHAT A CHANCE FOR WOLVES! Pickford and Tarkowski both leave a loose ball for one another, allowing Silva to remain onside as he darts through on goal. The Wolves striker has to score, but he side-foots just wide of the far post. Another left-off for the hosts.

Silva went a fraction too early as he looked to reach Bueno's cross, but the finish was expertly applied. That should offer some encouragement to Wolves, who are finally looking to up the intensity of their play.

Goaaaal…. But wait, the flag is up! What a let-off for Everton! Bueno's cross is delicately prodded home by Silva, darting across Branthwaite towards the front post. However, the linesman signals for offside, and replays show the Wolves man went slightly too early.

Patterson (41) and Semedo (54) – the two teams' respective right-backs – managed more touches than any of their team-mates in the opening 45 minutes. That tells you something about the lack of creativity on display.
