Wolves vs Everton Report

Scorers: Munetsi 40’; Harrison 33’

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton took a point each from a competitive 1-1 draw at Molineux, as David Moyes’ side stretched their unbeaten Premier League run to eight matches (W4, D4).

Goals from Jack Harrison and Marshall Munetsi ensured both teams walked away with something, though neither side could find a decisive winner in a match that lacked cutting-edge finishing.

Everton Start Brightly as Harrison Puts Toffees Ahead

With Wolves struggling for form at Molineux in recent weeks, the absence of the suspended Matheus Cunha in the stands only added to the hosts’ concerns.

Meanwhile, Everton looked to capitalise on their strong run of form and extend their 10-point gap over Wolves at the start of play.

The visitors began on the front foot, nearly taking the lead when Abdoulaye Doucouré brought the ball under control brilliantly before seeing his shot blocked by Emmanuel Agbadou.

Jack Harrison then whipped in an inviting left-footed cross that narrowly missed the outstretched boot of Beto, as the Toffees continued to push forward.

Wolves enjoyed the majority of possession and carved out their own chances through Rayan Aït-Nouri and Munetsi.

However, it was Everton who struck first in the 36th minute. Harrison opened his account for the season, latching onto Jesper Lindstrøm’s pass before his shot took a massive deflection off Matt Doherty and nestled into the bottom corner past José Sá.

Munetsi’s First Wolves Goal Brings Hosts Level

Despite falling behind, Wolves responded swiftly. Just before the break, Jean‐Ricner Bellegarde split the Everton defence with a perfectly weighted pass, setting up Munetsi for a composed finish past Jordan Pickford.

The Zimbabwean’s first goal for the club capped off an impressive move by Vítor Pereira’s side, ensuring they went into half-time level.

Second Half Lacks Cutting Edge as Both Teams Squander Chances

Munetsi’s evening was cut short as he was forced off with an injury at the break, with Pablo Sarabia coming on in his place. The Spaniard almost made an immediate impact, striking a well-positioned free-kick into the side-netting.

However, those expecting a flurry of second-half chances were left disappointed, as both sides struggled to create clear-cut opportunities. Wolves’ Jørgen Strand Larsen tried to break the deadlock after being picked out by Sarabia, but his shot was well saved by Pickford.

That moment injected some much-needed intensity into the match, as Everton launched an immediate counterattack.

Carlos Alcaraz broke forward and found Beto, whose powerful effort was denied by a sharp save from Sá. Alcaraz remained lively, showcasing impressive footwork inside the box before firing straight at the Wolves goalkeeper.

Everton Climb to 14th as Wolves Edge Further Away from Relegation Zone

Ultimately, neither side could find a winner, and the match ended in a 1-1 stalemate. The result sees Everton move up two places into 14th—at least temporarily—continuing their steady climb up the table.

Meanwhile, Wolves remain in 17th but have now opened up a six-point gap over Ipswich Town, keeping them in a strong position to avoid the drop.

Wolves have now lost just one of their last eight home league meetings with Everton, but their failure to convert possession into goals remains a concern as they continue their fight for survival.
