Everton deliver a commanding performance, securing three vital points and moving five points clear of the relegation zone ahead of a challenging run of fixtures.
At 39 years and 148 days old, right-back Young set a Premier League record as the oldest player to score a free kick, delivering a stunning first-half strike for his 50th goal in the English top flight.
Orel Mangala celebrated his first goal for Everton, while Wolves’ misfortune deepened with Craig Dawson scoring two own goals. This brought Wolves’ defensive woes to 36 goals conceded in just 14 matches — the most in the league.
The result lifted Everton to 15th in the table with 14 points from 14 matches, while Wolves dropped to second-bottom with nine points, increasing the pressure on manager Gary O’Neil.
