Wolves 1-1 Everton result - Marshall Munetsi cancels out Jack Harrison's opener in Premier League draw at Molineux

Wolves could not muster the victory to ease their relegation fears as in-form Everton earned a 1-1 draw at Molineux.

The visitors snatched the lead on 33 minutes when Jack Harrison’s deflected strike flew into the corner from 16 yards out.

Wolves, who were missing talismanic forward Matheus Cunha through suspension, responded and deservedly levelled prior to the break when Jean-Ricner Bellegarde set up Marshall Munetsi to slot a low shot past Jordan Pickford.

Substitute Pablo Sarabia went close for Vitor Pereira’s men following the interval, while at the other end an excellent counter saw Jose Sa deny Beto.

The result sees 17th-placed Wolves move six points clear of the drop zone, although Leicester City could cut that gap if they were to pick up a positive result at Chelsea on Sunday.

Everton remain 10 points better off than Wolves with the draw moving The Toffees up to 14th spot.

Next up, Everton host West Ham a week on Saturday. Wolves visit Southampton.

"Well, a point is a point, right? Obviously we wanted the three points and tried to have a winning mentality to try to win the game.

"We had to chase the game a bit [in the first half] and in the second half we did a good job but couldn't score unfortunately."

He added: "Sometimes you need to be lucky and we didn't have it today. We worked a lot and tried to create a lot of chances, especially when Pablo [Sarabia] came in, he gave us a boost offensively, but we couldn't score."

On Marshall Munetsi's goal: "It's a very important goal for us and for him as well; good for his confidence... so congratulations to him and we hope he keeps scoring [for us].

On Wolves now being six points clear of 18th-placed Ipswich: "Of course, we believe a lot [that Wolves will stay up], but we have to show this belief. We have 10 games to play and will give everything to make sure Wolves stay in the Premier League. There's a long way to go, but we will keep coming to the pitch and give 200%."

LUCY WARD: "A point may become vital by the end of the season [for Wolves]. They defended well, were good in midfield but just needed something more at the top end of the field.

"As for Everton, they look a completely different team, not at their best but came away with a point."

PETER CROUCH: "I think both teams would take a draw in the end. Wolves were huffing and puffing, but it looked like it was going to be a 1-1 draw. Looking at today's results, it's a decent point for both of them really."

JOE COLE: "The last 10 minutes of the game, no one was really committing bodies forward. Eight games unbeaten for Everton is fantastic and they are more than safe. I think Wolves will be buzzing with that point tonight, especially without Cunha in the team. He'll be a happy boy too."

It is another solid point for David Moyes’ Everton, but Wolves will be disappointed they could not build on the momentum of a first-half equaliser when they were on top in the second period.

The absence of Matheus Cunha was keenly felt as the hosts lacked quality in the final third and in the end a share of the spoils was a fair result with Everton now unbeaten in eight Premier League matches.
