Wolves vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Toffees slump to big defeat

Sarabia, Semedo and Hwang are all involved as Wolves look to build down their right flank, but the latter gifts possession back to Everton with a slack pass. Joao Gomes then recovers it for Wolves and is fouled by his opposite number Onana.

Patterson skips infield to play a neat give-and-go with Calvert-Lewin, but Wolves get numbers back and Tarkowski's eventual ball into the box is easily dealt with by Doyle. It's been a rather scrappy opening to this game.

That was a huge chance for Hwang, who was unusually hesitant to pull the trigger. He already has 10 Premier League goals this season following his brace at Brentford last time out.

WHAT A CHANCE FOR WOLVES! HOW IS IT NOT 1-0? McNeil sees a wide free-kick headed clear and Wolves break at devastating speed, with Cunha slipping Hwang through on goal. He has the chance to shoot left-footed but instead sits Pickford down, only to take one touch too many and be crowded out by grey shirts.

Applause breaks out at Molineux in the fifth minute as fans show their support for the team's number five Lemina. He's not involved here following the death of his father yesterday, and the Wolves players are wearing black armbands to mark his loss.

Wolves have won four of their last five Premier League games against Everton (one draw), as many victories as they managed in their previous 21 league meetings with the Toffees (eight draws, nine losses). A late header from Kalajdzic decided the reverse fixture at Goodison Park, with O'Neil claiming his first victory as Wolves boss by a 1-0 scoreline in August.

Hwang stayed down in the aftermath of that early chance, but the South Korean is now up and moving freely. It's a big boost for Wolves to have him fit for this game, after he was forced off with a back injury at Brentford. He'll be leaving for the Asian Cup after this match.

CHANCE! Hwang makes an excellent run in behind the Everton backline to pick up possession on the left side of the box. He turns Keane inside-out before cutting back for Cunha, but Branthwaite makes a vital last-ditch clearance to stop the Brazilian from turning home! Bright start from the hosts!

We're under way at Molineux for the final time this year as Everton get the ball rolling, donning an all grey change kit for their last outing of 2023!

Wolves are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League home games (four wins, three draws), last having a longer run without defeat at Molineux between January and August 2019 (10). Will they maintain their fine form on their own turf? We're about to find out – kick-off is rapidly approaching!
