Everton's fans reacted furiously at the conclusion of a game that was low on quality but suddenly became high on drama late on. It was a mixture of anger at the dismissals of Michael Keane and Jack Grealish, but also a large measure of disappointment at another toothless, lacklustre display. Keane was adjudged to have tugged at Tolu Arokodare's hair as they both went up for a header, while Grealish stupidly continued to argue with referee Tom Kirk after receiving a yellow card, almost inviting the fate the eventually came his way.

It was reckless ill-discipline on Everton's part that almost cost them the point they were clinging to following a good start.
Attempting to bounce back from a heavy 4-2 loss at home to Brentford, David Moyes' side led through Keane's goal, but then barely threatened Wolves keeper Jose Sa and ended up hanging on desperately with a numerical disadvantage.
Moyes has struggled with a lack of attacking threat all season, but the situation has reached desperation with Iliman Ndiaye away at the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall out with a hamstring injury.
Everton and Moyes would have hoped to use their fine win at Nottingham Forest as a springboard to move further up the table, but one point from two home games against Brentford and now Wolves is a poor return.
