THE BEASTS ARE UNLEASHED!

In a thrilling game, Everton take their first away win and first back-to-back win of the season, many more could follow.

Everton came to the West Midlands looking for a win, this was clear from the off. With Ndiaye, KDH, and Grealish all starting and actively looking to get on the ball at all times, the early signs were very positive. Grealish, who has been outstanding every game so far, continued in this manner and wasted no time to harass and unhinge the Wolves defence. Ndiaye was equally as effective on the right. Indeed, Ndiaye’s footwork and dribbling were mesmerising and his genius created the first goal, which KDH got involved in and Grealish provided the assist to Beto, who nodded in from close range.

Wolves Equalise

Despite being under constant pressure and totally against the run of play, Wolves equalised with a sublime goal by Hwang Hee-Chan who raced clear of Everton’s slow defence to latch on to a superb cross-field pass by Munetsi. Wolves exposed Everton’s defensive frailties in less than a few seconds. Moyes will need to tighten this up quickly!

Everton Strike Back

Everton rallied quickly and continued to press, harass and frustrate Wolves, who let themselves down at times with some sloppy passing and poor defending. Everton’s second goal came from a beautiful bit of link-up play between Grealish and KDH, Ndiaye slotting it home to take Everton into a well-deserved half-time lead.

Second Half Dominance

Wolves offered little in response and following an initial lively two minutes after kickoff they quickly became second best to an impressive Everton forward line. KDH had his best game yet for the Toffees, he was everywhere in the midfield, tackling hard and making darting runs into space which a talent such as Grealish would not fail to feed. KDH netted Everton’s third with a fine finish from a delightful chip-through ball from Grealish. Hitting it first time with his left foot, the ball smashed into the net off the woodwork from just inside the box. A great goal rewarding a superb performance from KDH.

Wolves Fight Back

Wolves however were not done, an inspiring five-man change brought new life to Wolves. Fer Lopez and Rodrigo Gomes sparking much-needed alacrity into their gameplay, which was rewarded with a well-worked goal from Gomes, one that drew more lacklustre defending from Everton. With a chance of a point, this momentum put Everton on the back foot and it was a slightly nervy end to the game for them.

Conclusion

All in all a great team result for Everton and a deserved win on the whole. Wolves need points quickly and have shown that they are not an easy touch despite their exodus of talent.

Everton face Villa at the HDS in two weeks’ time, should be a thriller – but can Grealish do Villa? UTFT.
