Everton ended a miserable run of home form to keep their slim hopes of European football alive and give 6,500 returning fans something to cheer about as they edged out Wolves 1-0 at Goodison Park. Richarlison’s 48th-minute header separated the sides on the night, giving Everton a first home win in six and only a second win in 10, though it was not one that came easily. Everton’s problems remained on show as they struggled to retain possession, allowing Wolves to increasingly dominate play to the frustration of the returning fans. Everton tails were up, and moments later Digne’s sliding ball narrowly evaded Dominic Calvert-Lewin, rolling instead for Seamus Coleman whose shot was deflected wide. As Wolves pushed forward in the final minutes, Richarlison’s cross narrowly eluded Calvert-Lewin’s slide, but Everton could celebrate regardless.
