Everton picked up three consecutive wins on Saturday as they defeated Wolves 3-2 at Molineux.

Jack Grealish produced another wonderful display as he registered two assists, taking his tally to four for the season already.

“I think he’s showing it at the moment, I think some of his football has been really good,” David Moyes said about Grealish after the game.

“The biggest compliment I can probably give him is he’s better than I thought he was. He’s so good.”

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall showed his class, too, as he scored a sensational half-volley, set up by none other than Grealish.

Speaking post-match, Wolves manager Vitor Pereira paid a big compliment to Everton.

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira hails Everton

It’s been a while since Everton were feared by oppositions, but that’s certainly becoming the case this season.

The frontline is jam-packed with quality, and that’s even without Tyler Dibling, who is yet to come into the fold.

Speaking on BBC Match of the Day, Pereira admitted that Everton are a very good side and much better than last year.

“We cannot commit these type of mistakes, because every time we commit mistakes, they punish us with a goal,” the Portuguese boss said.

“We are conceding… we are offering goals. We face a strong team, I think they are stronger than last season, and you must be in your best level to face Everton.”

That’s certainly refreshing to hear for Evertonians, who have had to watch pretty dull football over the last few years.

Thierno Barry and Tyler Dibling have work to do

At the moment, Beto is keeping new signing Thierno Barry out of the side, having netted two goals in four outings this term.

Moyes has recently explained that he’s giving Beto tough love to get the best out of him.

“Beto ended up with eight goals (in the Premier League) last year,” the Scotsman explained. “For probably only playing half the season, it was a brilliant record.

“I have been challenging him a little bit to sort of push him. People think I don’t want him, it’s not, it’s really to try and prod him a wee bit to see if I can get goals.”

Dibling also has a task in displacing Iliman Ndiaye, who has been excelling on the right wing in the last two games.

Ndiaye has scored two in two, so Barry and Dibling will have to really push their levels in training and take their opportunities when they arise.
