In their first game back in the Premier League, resilient Wolves claimed a point against Everton who went in front twice.
Everton were in control of the first half, but only until Phil Jagielka got himself sent off after making a dangerous challenge on Diogo Jota.
Richarlison answered his critics with two goals, one in each half, however Ruben Neves and Raul Jimenez showed that Wolves would be no pushovers.
It looked like Wolves’ first home Premier League match for six years would end in disappointment, but Nuno Espírito Santo’s team showed real character in coming back after twice finding themselves behind.
