What a spectacle at Molineux! Wolverhampton Wanderers continued their scintillating form, securing a dominant 3-0 victory over Everton. The crowd of 31,639 was treated to a footballing feast, and referee Thomas Bramall had the best seat in the house.
The match kicked off at 16:00, and from the get-go, Wolves were on fire. Hwang Hee-chan's early cutback had Everton's defense scrambling, denying Matheus Cunha a close-range finish. The South Korean Hwang had his own chance but opted to round Jordan Pickford, only to be thwarted by Everton's defenders.
In the 23rd minute, Max Kilman broke the deadlock, tapping in the rebound after Craig Dawson's effort forced Pickford into a save. Kilman's celebration held extra meaning as he displayed Mario Lemina's shirt in support of his teammate, who had lost his father the day before.
Everton tried to respond, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin coming close, but Wolves held firm. The second half was all about Wolves asserting their dominance. In the 53rd minute, Cunha doubled the lead with his sixth goal of the season, converting Hwang's cutback.
A mishap at the back for Everton proved costly as Hwang's powerful shot rattled off the post, only for Dawson to expertly finish Cunha's cross for Wolves' third. Dwight McNeil's thunderous strike for Everton hit the post, offering a glimpse of hope, but Wolves' defense stood tall.
Wolves continued to press for more, with Hwang having the ball in the back of the net, only for it to be ruled out for offside. In stoppage time, Pedro Neto nearly capped off the perfect return from injury, but his goal was also ruled out for offside.
The win marked Wolves' third successive triumph, maintaining their unbeaten home form for eight matches. They now sit comfortably in 11th place with 28 points, level with Chelsea. On the other hand, Everton finds themselves in 17th place with 16 points.
What a performance by Wolves at Molineux! The pack is on the prowl, and the Premier League better take notice.
