Match report and free highlights as things get worse for Everton and Frank Lampard; Conor Coady’s second-half header proves the difference; Jonjoe Kenny was sent off for two yellow cards with 12 minutes to play
Sunday 13 March 2022 16:14, UK
Wolves plunged Everton further into relegation trouble as Conor Coady’s second-half header means the Toffees are only out of the drop zone on goal difference.
Frank Lampard’s side have now lost five of their six Premier League matches under his watch and had no answer to Coady’s header on 49 minutes. Frustrations were clear to see in Everton’s chasing of the game and Jonjoe Kenny picked up two yellow cards with 12 minutes to play as Wolves cantered to a 1-0 victory at a disgruntled Goodison Park.
The result leaves Lampard’s side level on 22 points with 18th-placed Watford but they do have three games in hand on the Hornets. That said, Burnley in 19th place, are just one point behind Everton, who have only one game in hand on Sean Dyche’s men.
The victory for Wolves firmly keeps them in the European hunt with only four points to Manchester United in fourth place.
