Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Goodison Park!
  • 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 15' Nelson Semedo has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 513 appearances.
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Sean Dyche will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jordan Pickford suffering a number of foals already.
  • 29' Nelson Semedo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 29.
  • 34' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 39' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 40' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Nelson Semedo.
  • 45' Everton FC are deployed in a 4-1-4-1 today, looking to exploit space against Wolverhampton Wanderers FC's 4-4-1-1 shape.
  • 46' Fresh legs for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC! Rayan Ait Nouri comes on to replace Hwang Heechan.
  • 51' The referee has no hesitation. Mario Lemina is booked for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC — Yellow card on 51.
  • 53' Poor challenge from Jarrad Branthwaite. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 58' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Everton FC and Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 62' Everton FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 63' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for James Garner.
  • 66' It is a substitution in Everton FC team. Lewis Dobbin is replaced by Youssef Chermiti on 66 minute.
  • 68' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Craig Dawson on 68 minutes.
  • 73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Fabio Silva made 491 appearances and scored 34 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 74' Fabio Silva makes way for Pablo Sarabia at the 74 minute mark. A tactical switch from Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.
  • 79' The 29-year-old Sasa Kalajdzic has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 84' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 85' Sasa Kalajdzic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Matheus Cunha on 85 minute.
  • 87' What a moment for Sasa Kalajdzic! That strike on 87 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 90' That is a Yellow card for Everton FC. Youssef Chermiti will be fuming at that decision.
  • 90' Everton FC make a change. Arnaut Danjuma trudges off to be replaced by Thomas Cannon on 90 minutes.
  • Another three points for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.
