Everton secured three points against Wolves in an impressive 3-2 away win at Molineux.
After losing their opening game against Leeds United, Everton have now won three games on the bounce across all competitions.
Jack Grealish was hailed for his full Everton debut in last weekend’s victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Manchester City loanee provided two assists against the Seagulls, and it did not take him long to provide more against Wolves.
Beto put the Blues ahead, with David Moyes then seeing a solid response in retaking the lead before half time.
Grealish added his fourth assist of the season when he played through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who slammed home the third goal.
Everton’s transfer business has been praised this summer. Now, it is their football which has caught people’s attention.

Everton show something unexpected against Wolves
Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville predicted Everton to draw against Wolves, but how wrong they were proven.
It was a stunning display from Everton, who showed some real quality in the final third against a struggling Wolves.
Speaking on BBC Sport’s Football Focus, Stephen Warnock admitted he was shocked at just how intricate Everton’s play was at Molineux.
‘There is a real patience about Everton because they have Ndiaye and Grealish on either side, and it has brought an arrogance to them in that they can keep hold of the ball,’ Warnock said.
‘It’s a magnificent team move from Everton, not something you’d expect, but that is what those two wide players bring.’
Carlos Alcaraz has been impressed by Grealish’s quality, and it would appear it is rubbing off on the rest of the side.
The 29-year-old is playing with a real freedom to his game, and his ability to roam the attacking third is unlocking the opposition’s defence.

Jack Grealish steals the show for Everton
On Friday, Thomas Tuchel encouraged Grealish to keep up his good form, and the England manager will have liked what he saw against Wolves.
Grealish did not make the latest squad, but providing four assists in his first three Premier League appearances will not go unnoticed.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Tim Sherwood was left absolutely stunned by Grealish’s performance for the Toffees.
“It is all about Grealish, who waits for Dewsbury-Hall’s run and he then runs it into his path and he hits it first time into the roof of the net – absolutely fantastic from Everton!” he said.
And it really was the Grealish show at Molineux.
- 88 minutes played
- 2 assists
- 60 touches
- 91% pass accuracy
- 3 key passes
- 5/8 successful dribbles
- 13/17 ground duels won
Everton have the option to buy Grealish permanently, and that will be looking more and more attractive by the day.
