Hee-Chen Hwang thought he had scored for Wolves in the 15th minute of the game, but his goal was ruled offside after a VAR check.  

Everton eventually conceded a goal after Max Kilman scored in the 28th minute with his head after Rayan Ait Nouri swung in a cross from the left, to make it 1-0 to Wolves. 

Raul Jimenez pounced on a loose pass from Ben Godfrey, to double the home side’s advantage, four minutes later. 

Everton got a lifeline in the second half when Nigerian midfielder,  Alex Iwobi, scored from a neat back heel pass from Micheal Keane to reduce the deficit to 2-1 in the 66th minute.

Wolves dominated the match but Everton had more shots on target but were unable to make it count before the referee, Martin Atkinson, brought proceedings to a close.
