Everton picked up another win on Tuesday night, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at Molineux.

Alex Iwobi fired the Toffees into an early lead, before Ruben Neves brought the hosts level from a Rayan Ait-Nouri cross.

Everton grabbed all three points in the second half though, as Michael Keane headed home Andre Gomes’ ball in.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men stayed strong after that and held on for the 2-1 win, picking up a fifth victory in their last six games.

Everton sit fourth in the Premier League table on 32 points, just one point shy of Liverpool and four behind leaders Manchester United.

Ancelotti would really achieve something special this season, and a key part of the recent performances has been Ben Godfrey.

The centre back has been deployed as a full back of late due to injury issues, and his performances have earned huge praise from fans.

Godfrey took to Twitter to send just one word after the win at Wolves, branding the victory ‘massive’ as Everton continued their superb form.
