FULL TIME: Wolves 2-2 Everton
The points are shared at Moilneux in Wolves' return to the Premier League. A brilliant debut brace from Richarlison kept Everton in it after Phil Jagielka's straight red card towards the end of the first half, but Wolves fought until the end, first equalising in the form of a stunning Ruben Neves free kick, before a late Raul Jimenez goal secured a hard-earned point for the home side.
Here's Ruben Neves talking to BT Sport:
"It was a very good Premier League game against a good team. We controlled the game. I think we deserved a little bit more. I'm happy to help the team. We want more, we need to work a little bit more to get a win."
The other Wolves goalscorer Raul Jimenez also spoke post-match:
"I'm happy for the goal. And a little bit sad because of the result as we deserved more. But that's football. One point in the first game is good."
Richarlison the Everton hero with a brace on debut, has also been speaking to BT Sport and has high praise for manager Marco Silva:
"It was a very difficult match, we had to run double because we were a man down. One point away is very important.
"I know my responsibilities and what I have to do on the pitch for Marco Silva. I look to Marco like a father, he took me from Brazil to England [Watford]. I'll be grateful for life to Marco."
