Jack Grealish continued his superb form for Everton on Saturday as they won their second consecutive Premier League match.
Everton beat Wolves 3-2 at Molineux, with the midfielder bagging another two assists on a day in which he appeared to be involved in everything positive for David Moyes’ side.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also attracted plaudits for his performance, his second-half strike ultimately proving to be the match-winner.
Grealish became the first Everton player since 2013 to assist in his first two Premier League starts, with the England international adding to his performance against Brighton last week.
Everton beat Brighton 2-0 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the 28-year-old claiming the telling pass for both Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner’s goals.

Erling Haaland dubs Jack Grealish ‘Jack De Bruyne’ after Wolves showing
Grealish was hugely impressive against Wolves on Saturday, his first assist coming from the head after he was found by a perfectly-weighted Vitalii Mykolenko pass.
And the second saw him clip the ball over the defender to Dewsbury-Hall, who did the rest with a smashed finish into the roof of the net.
In just two starts, Grealish now has double the number of Premier League assists he registered in his previous two seasons at Manchester City.
Former teammate Erling Haaland took to Snapchat immediately after full-time on 30 August to give the 28-year-old a new nickname.
The striker wrote: “Jack De Bruyne does it again for Everton.”
Haaland is, of course, referring to Kevin De Bruyne, who provided 177 assists in the near-10 years he spent at the Etihad Stadium before his move to Napoli in the summer.

Jack Grealish is proving transformative for Everton
It has often been suggested that Grealish needed to be at a club where he would be the main man, like he was during his time at Aston Villa.
The midfielder appears to have found that role at Everton, and is already producing huge results as a result.
