Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Cunha and Gomes combine to release Neto on the break. He gets into the area and lifts a right-footed cross into the six-yard box, but Patterson gets back to head it clear.

Neto looks to trick his way past Onana on the edge of the box, but the Everton man wins the ball and gets his team moving. A long ball is launched forwards for Danjuma, but Dawson shepherds it back to Sa.

We've only seen one shot on target – from Everton – so far. This game always looked likely to be tense and cagey, given the tricky predicaments both teams find themselves in.

That's a waste from Everton. Young's corner is floated straight into the hands of Sa, who was unchallenged.

Dobbin faces up Semedo inside the area and looks to beat the full-back on the outside. Semedo gets a touch to the ball and prods it behind for an Everton corner.

Alex Iwobi had appeared in 52 consecutive Premier League games for Everton before being ruled out of this one through injury. Dobbin is looking to fill his boots out wide today, and the Toffees need a big performance from the youngster.

This has been a positive start for Everton. Wolves are struggling to play their way through the Toffees' press, though neither team has shown much quality in the final third.

POST! But wait… the flag is up! Danjuma breaks through on goal as Wolves are caught cold. He looks for the bottom-left corner, but Sa gets a slight touch to divert the ball onto the inside of the post before the flag is belatedly raised. Danjuma and Sa didn't know that would be the case, however!

The game opens up as Bueno is dispossessed and Everton counter, with Dawson heading Danjuma's initial cross away. The hosts keep the pressure on, but Dobbin slices a left-wing delivery behind under no pressure.

Wolves create a three-on-three on the break, but Silva's slack pass is too short for Neto and Branthwaite gets across to cut it out. The visitors regain possession, however, penning Everton back.
