Richarlison scored twice and Everton twice threw away the lead against Wolverhampton Wanderers before winning 3-2 in the Premier League yesterday.

Bookending Alex Iwobi's goal, Richarlison scored the first and last goals of a frenzied game that lurched between moments of quality, to a long spell of mediocrity and back again to provide an entertaining finish.

Everton handed full Premier League debuts to a trio of summer signings in Moise Kean, Fabian Delph and Iwobi. All three made an impact, with Iwobi scoring for the second successive game and Delph, holding things together in midfield, particularly impressive.

After qualifying for the Europa League group stage on Thursday, Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo made four changes, including key players Joao Moutino and Diogo Jota.

Romain Saiss and Raul Jimenez, with his eighth goal in eight starts in all competitions this season, twice pulled Wolves level, but defeat left them still looking for their first Premier League win after three draws.
