Everton were reduced to nine players as Wolverhampton Wanderers continued their recent improvement, with exciting teenager Mateus Mane’s strike giving them a point at Hill Dickinson Stadium.<\/p>\n
Michael Keane and Jack Grealish were both sent off in a chaotic conclusion which saw bottom club Wolves, surely doomed to relegation, almost snatch victory at the death.<\/p>\n
Everton led from the 17th minute when defender Keane pounced from close range for his third Premier League goal of the season.<\/p>\n
But Wolves, who secured their first league win of the season at the 20th time of asking against West Ham United, boast a new resilience under manager Rob Edwards and stayed in contention until teenage forward Mane made another decisive contribution with 21 minutes left.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old, who scored his first senior goal in the 3-0 victory over the Hammers, showed great composure to run on to substitute Jorgen Strand Larsen’s pass and beat Everton keeper Jordan Pickford.<\/p>\n
There was little hint of the drama and chaos to follow in what had been a largely undistinguished game until tempers boiled over in the closing stages.<\/p>\n
Keane’s night turned sour with seven minutes left when he was shown a straight red card after a lengthy video assistant referee (VAR) intervention following an aerial clash with Tolu Arokodare, where the defender looked to have pulled the hair of the Wolves striker.<\/p>\n
Grealish then followed him down the tunnel after picking up a second caution for dissent – both coming in the space of three minutes – to leave Everton to see out a nervy nine minutes of additional time.<\/p>\n
Wolves almost snatched victory, only for Pickford to produce a magnificent save from Hugo Bueno’s long-range effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everton were reduced to nine players as Wolverhampton Wanderers continued their recent improvement, with exciting teenager Mateus Mane’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":394960,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-394959","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=394959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=394959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=394959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=394959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
