Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Re-live all the action from Molineux Stadium
Yerry Mina equalised in the 99th minute as relegation-threatened Everton secured a 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday and a precious point in their bid to avoid dropping out of the Premier League.
Wolves took the lead in the first half as winger Adama Traore carried the ball from the edge of his own box before his shot was pushed into the path of Hwang Hee-Chan, who had a simple finish for his fourth goal of the campaign.
Everton are two points above the relegation zone but have now played a game more and will be anxiously watching the results of Leeds United and Leicester City this weekend as they could potentially be in the bottom three going into their final fixture at home to Bournemouth next Sunday.
The Merseyside club have not had their cause helped by a growing injury crisis, having lost right back Nathan Patterson and, crucially, forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the first half at Wolves.

The form book makes this a tough one to call today. Wolves have win each of their last four home games without conceding, while Everton have suffered just one defeat in their last six on the road.

Meanwhile, Sean Dyche was pleased with Everton's performance and character during last weekend's defeat by Manchester City - so much so that he only makes a single alteration to the starting line-up. Onana replaces Holgate, who drops to the bench, while Calvert-Lewin has shaken off a knock to lead the line.

Julen Lopetegui makes six changes from Wolves' defeat to Manchester United last weekend. Bentley impressed on his first senior start at Old Trafford, so keeps his place in goal. Semedo, Toti, Dawson and Neves are the other players to remain from the 2-0 reverse.

Wolves, who are 13th in the table, recently secured their Premier League survival, but 17th-place Everton are fighting for their lives in the English top flight. The Toffees would take a huge stride towards safety with victory here, though a defeat would open for the door for relegation rivals Leeds United and Leicester City to capitalise later this weekend.
