Wolves get through again, with Traore bursting down the right and driving in a cross. It’s a brilliant one, but Coleman manages to get a block on it.
81'
Wolves have been able to treat this match like a training game since the start of the second half, when Dendoncker put them 2-0 up. Everton have been totally devoid of ideas throughout.
78'
João Moutinho enters the game and replaces R. Jiménez.
A change for Wolves. Jimenez has been replaced by Moutinho.

The pass from Neves was exceptional, with Jota keeping his cool to apply the finish.
GOOOOAAALLL!!! WOLVES HAVE ANOTHER! A brilliant pass from Neves takes Everton’s defence out of the game, with Jota racing through and, this time, he makes no mistake, drilling a finish beyond Pickford, who should have done better.
73'
Wide! Keane gets in for Everton, but drags his finish across the face of goal.

Description
67'
Iwobi cuts inside from the right and drills a neat ball to Digne, whose cross is deflected out to the edge of the box. Sigurdsson meets it, but Neves blocks the shot.
64'
A sliced clearance gives Everton the chance to make some headway, with Calvert-Lewin finding Digne, who picks out Coleman. The full-back directs a header goalwards, but it is blocked at the near post.
63'
M. Kean enters the game and replaces Richarlison.
A final change for Everton. Richarlison, who has struggled to get involved at all today, makes way for Kean.
58'

Keane goes into the book, having clattered into Jimenez from behind.
56'
Diogo Jota enters the game and replaces Pedro Neto.
Bernard enters the game and replaces T. Walcott.

53'
Everton work it forward, but there is no urgency about their play. Coleman eventually drops in a cross, but Patricio is able to collect it with ease.
49'
Everton’s hopes of getting anything out of this match look bleak. The Toffees have offered nothing going forward and look defensively fragile. For Ancelotti, it seems now to be a case of limping on to the end of the season, with his side in need of several reinforcements in the transfer window.
46'
L. Dendoncker has scored a goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers! Assist by Pedro Neto.
J. Branthwaite enters the game and replaces L. Baines.
A change for Everton. Branthwaite is on for his Everton debut, replacing Baines, which will likely mean a switch back to 4-4-2.
KICK-OFF! Wolves get proceedings back underway.
Neto gets the assist, having whipped in a wonderful free-kick, but the Everton defending left a lot to be desired.
GOOOOAAALLLL!!! WOLVES LEAD 2-0! A nightmare start for Branthwaite, who lets Dendoncker loose from a free-kick, with the Belgian flicking a header beyond Pickford.
45' +3
HALF-TIME: WOLVES 1-0 EVERTON.
45' +2
Penalty goal scored by R. Jiménez for Wolverhampton Wanderers!
GOAL! Cool from Jimenez, who sends Pickford down to his left and plants a fine finish into the other corner. It’s 1-0 to Wolves.
45' +1
There will be a minimum of two minutes stoppage time before half-time.
45'
Keane plays a ball over the top, with Calvert-Lewin looking to latch onto it, but he is marshalled by Coady, who wins possession with ease.
40'
Wolves have had complete control, though bar Podence’s strike and the ambitious effort from Jimenez, they have not tested Everton too much. That being said, the visitors have offered nothing of note going forward, with Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin mere spectators.
38'
Pickford makes a complete mess of collecting a cross from Neto, with the England goalkeeper dropping the ball. Fortunately for him, it is at the feet of Keane, who clears Everton’s lines.
36'
There is little pressure on Wolves when they forge attacks, especially from Everton’s midfield. It has been a problem area for Ancelotti, and neither Davies or Sigurdsson have managed to have any impact so far.
33'
Davies attempts to pick out either Baines or Richarlison with a long pass, yet the youngster hits his effort straight through the pair of them.
31'
S. Coleman enters the game and replaces Y. Mina.
Mina is off, with Coleman coming on. Keane will likely move to the centre of defence.
22'
We’ve reached the game’s first drinks break.
19'
L. Digne gets yellow.
Digne receives the first booking of the game, having dragged back on Neto to prevent a Wolves counter-attack.
16'
A neat turn from Gordon opens up space for Everton, with Sigurdsson eventually feeding Walcott, whose cross is a good one but just evades a blue shirt. Baines and Digne keep it alive, finding Gordon, but his shot is blocked.
14'
Everton youngster Gordon was a bright spark against both Spurs and Southampton, though he has failed to get himself involved so far today. He is playing in a preferred central role, justbehind a front two of Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin.
12'
Wolves take the corner short, with Neto playing it to Podence. The forward attempts a one-two, but Davies reads it and stewards it out for a corner.
11'
Everton manage to sustain a spell of possession, only for a long ball from Keane to hand it back to Wolves. The hosts ease their way into the opposition’s half, though Everton are staying compact in their defensive third, with Digne eventually conceding a corner.
7'
Doherty combines with Jimenez and gets beyond Everton’s midfield with what would have been far too much ease for Ancelotti’s liking. The wing-back gets off a shot from the edge of the area but, thankfully for the visitors, drags it well wide.
6'
It appears Digne is actually playing in Everton’s back three alongside Mina and Keane, with Baines taking up the position of left wing-back – Walcott, playing in the 500th match of his club career – offering the width on the other side.
4'
A first sighting of goal for Wolves, as they work a patient move from one side to the other – Saiss eventually feeding Podence, whose low shot is saved easily by Pickford. Everton respond brightly, Walcott getting down the right and supplying a pass for Calvert-Lewin, but his effort does not trouble Patricio.
3'
Everton have mainly played in a 4-4-2 shape under Ancelotti, but the Italian has switched his tactics today. The Toffees looked stagnant against Southampton and Tottenham, and perhaps this tweak in shape will help spark some more creativity.
1'
KICK-OFF! After a moment of silence in remembrance of Jack Charlton, Everton get proceedings underway.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League, as Wolves take on Everton at Molineux.
Two successive defeats have rather stalled Wolves’ progress up the table, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side sitting seventh. A win today, however, would take them above Sheffield United and back into the top six.
Everton, meanwhile, are entrenched in mid-table. Having lost and drawn their last two matches, it seems a European push is a bit too much of an ask for the Toffees, who have had another frustrating season despite Carlo Ancelotti taking over as manager.
WOLVES SUBSTITUTES: Bruno Jordan, Morgan Gibbs-White, Diogo Jota, John Ruddy, Joao Moutinho, Ruben Vinagre, Adama Traore, Maximilian Kilman, Oskar Buur.
WOLVES (3-4-3): Rui Patricio; Willy Boly, Conor Coady, Romain Saiss; Matt Doherty, Ruben Neves, Leander Dendoncker, Jonny; Pedro Neto, Raul Jimenez, Daniel Podence.
EVERTON (3-5-2): Jordan Pickford; Yerry Mina, Michael Keane, Leighton Baines; Theo Walcott, Tom Davies, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Anthony Gordon, Lucas Digne; Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.
The teams are making their way out at Molineux, with kick-off coming next.
Ancelotti’s switch in system has not helped Everton much, with the Toffees’ sluggish midfield a major issue. Wolves, meanwhile, now have the platform to push on. As it stands, they’re heading back into the top six.
That's all for now. Goodbye.
Wolves are up into sixth place, while Everton remain 11th. Ancelotti's side are winless in three, and put in an abject display today.
