Wolves vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Toffees slump to big defeat
Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
Gary O’Neil will be hoping to push his Wolves team into the top half of the table as they host Everton at Molineux this afternoon. The midlands club are in good form with two wins from their last two matches including a 4-1 hammering of Brentford last time out.
Should Wolves replicate that form this afternoon they can easily challenge Sean Dyche’s Everton who are looking to move further away from the relegation zone.
The Toffees’ 10-point deduction has sent them into a relegation battle as they are one point above the bottom three. Consecutive defeats to Tottenham and Manchester City halted a winning run of four league games in a row for the Merseryside club who will be hoping to get back to winning ways this afternoon.

POST! A mix-up between Tarkowski and Keane gifts Hwang possession, and the South Korean sits his marker down before giving Pickford the eyes and looking for the near post with his powerful strike. The goalkeeper gets a slight touch, and it crashes behind off the upright! So close to 3-0!

It had been a bright start to the second half for Everton, but Wolves look energised by that second goal, knocking the ball around neatly in midfield.

Wolves come forward as Cunha drives into the box on the left before seeing a low cross cleared. It drops to Ait-Nouri, who hammers a volley goalwards but sees it crash off a grey shirt. It's been an end-to-end start to the second half.
