Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-3 Everton: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-3 Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, 30 August 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

What a thrilling encounter at Molineux! Everton clinched a dramatic 3-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, extending their winning streak to three games. The Toffees struck early with a goal from Beto in the 7th minute, setting the tone for a high-octane match. Wolves fought back valiantly, with Hee-Chan Hwang and Rodrigo Martins Gomes finding the net, but it wasn't enough to overturn the deficit. This result was a bit of a shocker, considering Wolves' recent form, which included three losses and a draw. Despite the loss, Wolves showed resilience, but it's clear they need to tighten up at the back to stop this losing run.

Everton, on the other hand, are flying high, with this win propelling them up the table. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was the star of the show, scoring and assisting, proving to be a constant threat. The Toffees' ability to score three away goals against a team that had been tough to beat at home is a testament to their current form. This victory not only boosts their confidence but also sends a message to the rest of the league that they're a force to be reckoned with this season.

The stats from this match paint an interesting picture. Despite having 59% possession, Wolves couldn't convert their dominance into a win, which is quite surprising. Both teams had an equal number of corners, but Everton's higher successful dribble percentage (40% compared to Wolves' 27%) suggests they were more effective in breaking down the opposition. The single yellow card for Everton indicates a relatively clean game, but it's clear that Wolves need to be more clinical in front of goal to turn their possession into points.

The game kicked off with a bang as Everton's Beto scored in the 7th minute, putting the visitors in the lead. Wolves responded quickly with Hee-Chan Hwang's goal in the 21st minute, but Everton regained the lead through Iliman Ndiaye in the 33rd. The second half saw Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall extend Everton's lead in the 55th minute, showcasing his pivotal role in the match. Wolves made a late surge with Rodrigo Martins Gomes scoring in the 79th, but it was too little too late. These key moments highlight the back-and-forth nature of the game and the crucial impact of Dewsbury-Hall's contributions.

Wolves lined up in a 3-4-3 formation, with José Sá in goal and a back three of Santiago Bueno, Emmanuel Agbadou, and Toti. The midfield was anchored by João Gomes and André, with Hugo Bueno and Jackson Tchatchoua providing width. Up front, Hee-Chan Hwang, Marshall Munetsi, and Jhon Arias led the line. The team made five substitutions, with Rodrigo Martins Gomes coming on in the 63rd minute and scoring a crucial goal. Despite the loss, the lineup showed promise, but the inability to hold onto the lead after equalising was a letdown.

Everton opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Jordan Pickford between the posts and a back four of Jake O'Brien, James Tarkowski, Michael Keane, and Vitaliy Mykolenko. The midfield duo of James Garner and Idrissa Gueye provided stability, while Iliman Ndiaye, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Jack Grealish supported Beto up top. The impact of Dewsbury-Hall was evident, as he scored and assisted, proving to be a game-changer. The four substitutions made by Everton helped maintain their momentum, with Thiemo Barry and Tim Iroegbunam coming on to solidify the midfield.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match, and rightly so. His performance was nothing short of sensational, with a goal and an assist to his name. Dewsbury-Hall also created two big chances and made three key passes, showcasing his ability to influence the game in multiple ways. His contributions were pivotal in securing the victory for Everton, making him the standout player on the pitch.
