CRAIG DAWSON shot Wolves in the foot with TWO own goals - leaving Gary O’Neil staring down the barrel.
Luckless defender Dawson joined Jamie Carragher, Michael Proctor, Jon Walters and Wout Faes in an unhappy quintet to put past their own keeper twice in one Premier League game.

His misery capped off an awful night for his team and under-fire boss O’Neil, who suffered the ignominy of Wanderers fans singing ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning’ in his direction.
Everton had not scored in their last four games but they were rampant, easing the pressure on their own boss Sean Dyche.
Evergreen Ashley Young became the oldest player ever at 39 years and 148 days to net a Prem free-kick to get the ball rolling with a clever set-piece.
Oriel Mangala’s banger doubled the lead, before Dawson’s unfortunate gaffes.

Wolves are now three points from safety and have shipped EIGHT more than any other side.
O’Neil had bemoaned his side’s “crazy errors” in the lead-up to the game - and they had another to add to their repertoire for Young’s opener.
The away wall was positioned so poorly that it allowed Young to bend the ball around it and into the corner.
It was his 50th Prem goal ever in 466 games, proving that age is just a number for a player who could face his own 18-year-old Tyler next month when Everton face Peterborough in the FA Cup.

Young’s effort also saw him go fourth on the all-time oldest Prem scorers’ list, behind Teddy Sheringham, Dean Windass and Thiago Silva.
James Tarkowski thought he had doubled the lead just before the half-hour when heading in Dwight McNeil’s free-kick, but it was eventually ruled out for Mangala being offside.
Ex-Nottingham Forest man Mangala made up for it four minutes later as he crashed home from outside the area via a deflection.
O’Neil was getting soaked in the driving rain on Merseyside - while his side were sinking without trace.
It got worse after the break - and specifically for the unfortunate Dawson.

His first OG came just after the break from McNeil’s corner.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin had looked to have headed it in, but instead it bounced home off Dawson.
Nothing was going for O’Neil’s men, as proved when Tarkowski prevented Matt Doherty’s header from going in by diverting it onto the post and away.

Dawson had his second moment to forget on 72 minutes and in similar circumstances as a McNeil free-kick evaded Calvert-Lewin but went in off Wolves’ burly centre-back.
It was Everton’s biggest win for five years and could easily have been by more, leaving O’Neil in the mire.
