Everton attempted to respond, but their lack of sharpness in the final third left them chasing shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second half brought more drama, as tactical substitutions from both managers aimed to shift the momentum. Wolves, however, stayed resilient and doubled their lead in the <strong>88th minute<\/strong>, when <strong>Tolu Arokodare<\/strong> finished off an excellent pass from <strong>Jo\u00e3o Gomes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the closing minutes, discipline issues crept in, with fouls and yellow cards disrupting Everton\u2019s attempts to claw back.
