Everton staged a scintillating performance at Molineux to edge out Wolves 3–2 in a pulsating Premier League thriller. On-loan playmaker Jack Grealish was the creative heartbeat of the visitors, orchestrating all three goals and earning accolades across the board.
First Half: Early Lead & Rapid Response
Everton burst out of the blocks with Beto nodding home within the opening seven minutes, expertly set up by a pinpoint header from Grealish. But Wolves hit back midway through the first period, with Hwang Hee-chan leveling, thanks to a deft ball from Marshall Munetsi. The visitors regained control before the break through Iliman Ndiaye, finishing off a move ignited by Grealish’s clever involvement.
Second Half: Grealish Strikes Again
Just ten minutes into the second half, Grealish surged forward to deliver a defence-splitting pass to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who thumped in a stunning finish. Wolves, refusing to wilt, pulled one back through substitute Rodrigo Gomes late on but Everton held firm under pressure to claim all three points .
