AWAY DAYS
End of 2nd Half
FULL TIME
Everton head into the top four in the Premier League after snatching all three points in a 2-1 win over Wolves at the Molineux.
They were by far the better side for the first 10 minutes and the last ten minutes, and sometimes inbetween. They've made it count and done enough to get across the line here and head fourth in the Premier League.
One point off Liverpool, four points off top. Huge.
90+5'
Richarlison almost finishes the job but runs into trouble one on one!
90+4'
Hoever meets the ball but his header is just wide.
Toffees fans breathe a sigh of relief because that was too close for comfort.
90+3'
Wolves look desperate for a leveller but they're quality in the final third is costing them with some weird and wayward passes.
But they've got a corner...
90+1'
Everton are heading for a huge three points here.
This will put them fourth in the Premier League. Both these sides have ambitions for Europe and while Wolves' quest has stunted somewhat this season Everton look well on their way.
FIVE ADDED MINUTES TO RUIN THIS ANALYSIS
89'
Just two minutes or regular time left.
Everton defending so well but it's all Wolves as you'd expect.
87'
Wolves change: Moutinho is off, Vitinha is on. Attack, attack, attack.
Everton change: Coleman comes on for James...defend, defend, defend.
86'
Neves has a free-kick in a very Neves position, and it skims off the top of the bar. Great effort.
85'
That header is the first attempt on target for either side in the second half.
83'
HEADERS
82'
Everton looked so blunt up top with their patchwork frontline, but one quality ball in and a big man in the box is sometimes all it takes. None of this fancy recognised striker stuff.
78'
Cutrone is on for Wolves! Silva off.

GOAL! WOLVES 1 EVERTON 2 (Keane, 77')
It's another goal out of nowhere and with 14 minutes left Everton are in front!
Gomes curls in a brilliant cross and Keane leaps magnificently to plant a header past Patricio.

CHANCE!
James is in behind and he should probably go for goal himself but instead his squares for Sigurdsson/Iwobi and the two get in eachother's way.
Big opportunity missed.
Richarlison is on!

75'
Everton need to get Richarlison on there is just absolutely no one to aim for inside the box. The thrill ride that this game was inside the first 15 minutes feels a lifetime ago.
73'
Richarlison is getting ready...
71'
Neves goes full James 2014 World Cup for Colombia and tees himself up for the most ambitious volley that flies over the bar. Would have been a Puskas winner.
69'
Holgate picks up a yellow now as Wolves just step up their game.
Everton really lacking anything up top with their lack of strikers and it's painfully obvious to see that Sigurdsson and James are no replacement for Calvert-Lewin.

Wolves corner, out by Mina. Back in, out by Iwobi.
The hosts on top now. Can they turn this around and complete the fightback.
