Jack Grealish delivered another commanding performance to guide Everton past Wolves in a breathless 3-2 win at Molineux. Everton's No. 18 set up two goals and was the architect of the other, his influence defining a contest that swung between his team's attacking verve and late anxiety as Wolves rallied.
Beto’s early header was cancelled out by Hwang Hee-chan before Iliman Ndiaye restored Everton’s lead. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s thumping strike after half-time looked to have settled it. Rodrigo Gomes’s response kept the finale on edge, with Jordan Pickford required to save from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Gomes then dragged an added-time chance inches wide. Everton held on for a deserved win that showcased their renewed fluency—and the league’s in-form creator.
A whirlwind opening and an instant Wolves reply
Everton struck after seven minutes, a move that underlined the clarity of their attacking patterns. Vitalii Mykolenko’s cross was nodded cleverly back across goal by Grealish, with Beto heading in from close range to reward his recall with a poacher’s finish. It was Grealish’s third assist in two league games and a sign of how quickly he has found rhythm in David Moyes’s system.
