Everton 4-0 Wolves
by James Nalton
at Goodison Park

HAVING gone four games without scoring, Everton scored four in one game against Wolves to end a run of five without a win and gain some kind of confidence ahead of Saturday’s Merseyside derby.

The delivery of Dwight McNeil was key and each of Everton’s goals came from a set-piece situation.

Ashley Young rolled back the years to open the scoring directly from a free kick, curling his shot around the side of the Wolves wall into the bottom corner.
