David Moyes, Manager of Everton, acknowledges the fans
Everton boss David Moyes admitted Wolves “were the better side” in their 1-1 draw at Molineux.
Jack Harrison gave the visitors the lead just after the half-hour mark with an effort which deflected off Matt Doherty for his first goal of the campaign.
Everton ’s advantage was short lived though, Marshall Munetsi opened his account for Wolves when he dispatched beyond Jordan Pickford to make it 1-1 before the break and both sides cancelled each other out in the second period.
A share of the spoils meant Wolves moved six points above the drop zone, while Everton climbed up into 14th. The Toffees boss was delighted to take a point back to Merseyside because he felt his side weren't at their best - as he continues to push for higher standards at Goodison.

He said: “I’m really pleased with a point. I don’t think we played our best tonight, but showed what the team has got in resilience. I don’t think Wolves created loads of chances, but were the better side. We stuck at it, but tonight was always going to be an incredibly difficult game with what Wolves are playing for and staying in the Premier League.
“They are probably fighting for those points so hard like we have been in recent games at Goodison (Park). I knew exactly how tough it would be.
“Overall, Wolves played well and I don’t think we gave up too may opportunities, but unfortunately that one they took.”
Everton have turned a corner since Moyes walked through the door and have now stretched their unbeaten run to eight matches after he lost his opening game against Aston Villa.
Moyes added: “If you gave me that before I came in, I would’ve said you’re off your head. We’re actually quite disappointed the last three games we’ve drawn. Manchester United, Brentford away, but today I see it slightly different.
“That was a good point for us, but the other two games I was thinking how we probably could’ve had more from. Today’s game we had to dig deep to keep the point and the players shown something they probably haven’t been doing before.”
