Marshall Munetsi's first Premier League goal helped Wolves earn a valuable point against an in-form Everton side to extend the gap between themselves and the relegation zone to six points.

Everton drew first blood as Jack Harrison fired in to end his lengthy goal drought, obliging to David Moyes' demand of wanting to see more from the Toffees winger.

However, the visitors' lead only lasted seven minutes, with January signing Munetsi producing a composed finish inside the box to get off the mark for Wolves.

Wolves were then dealt a blow as their scorer was forced off at half-time after feeling a twinge.

Both teams searched for a winner after the break, with the likes of Pablo Sarabia and Beto coming close to finding the net.

But it was honours even come the full-time whistle as Everton kept up their impressive unbeaten run, extending to eight.
