WOLVERHAMPTON:
Promoted Wolves needed an 80th-minute equaliser from Mexican forward Raúl Jiménez to secure a 2-2 draw at home to 10-man Everton at Molineux on Saturday.

Everton’s new Brazilian signing Richarlison scored twice on his Premier League debut for the club but Marco Silva’s side had to settle for a point.

The former Watford forward, who moved to Everton for 40 million pounds (RM210 million) in July, slotted home from close range in the 17th minute but Everton were reduced to 10 men when Phil Jagielka was shown a red card for a foul on Diogo Jota in the 40th minute.

Five minutes later Wolves drew level thanks to a superbly-executed free kick from Ruben Neves.

But Everton held firm and Richarlison struck again in the 67th minute with an excellent finish that looked to have won the game until Jiménez’s header from a Neves cross 10 minutes from the end.
