22 mins: Wolves made a decent start, and could've let their heads drops after that Everton opener, but they've stuck to their task and Moutinho makes space for a shot which he volleys over
Something tells me they aren't going to win the league this season...
29 mins: Not much to report here, the game has fell into a lull. Richarlison with some confident touches after his goal, but pretty even play
30 mins: One point of note though, Jordan Pickford has had a couple of shaky clearances. Wolves clearly know the young keeper likes to play it out from the back and are tightening his angles.
35 mins: Richarlison has got to be a bit careful with that early yellow card hanging over him. He goes down to win Everton a foul under minimal contact, and he's already established himself as a villain to the Wolves fans. We have seen he can have a short fuse at Watford, and he needs to show some maturity here after getting his side ahead.
37 mins: Wolves with a decent spell of possession again, and this time do manage to get into the Everton box. Costa pulls his shot wide, but signs of promise for the home side
41 mins: RED CARD! Phil Jagielka gets a straight red for Everton after a challenge on Jota, he lost control of possession and slid in to win the ball back, but lunged into Jota. On replay, looks a bit harsh on Jagielka, but going into that challenge he knew he was risking that card.
Looks as though the red was for endangering his opponent rather than denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, with the incident just outside the penalty area.
Sigurdsson has to be sacrificied, to make way for Holgate in defence
44 mins: GOAL! Wolves 1-1 Everton (Ruben Neves)
It's double jeopardy for Everton! Jagielka's sending off left Wolves with a free kick around 25 yards out, Neves steps up and it's into the top corner out of Pickford's reach. All change now, Wolves level and with a man advantage.
HALF TIME: Wolves 1-1 Everton
It all looked to be plain sailing for Everton as Richarlison scored the opener from a free kick knockdown, but a giant wave pushed Everton off course in the shape of a red card for Phil Jagielka. The free kick from that dangerous challenge was grasped as Ruben Neves fired home a free kick into the top corner. All to play for in the second half, as Wolves have the man advantage
