Everton launched the Marco Silva era with a pulsating 2-2 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers – the fourth time in six seasons the Blues have opened their campaign by sharing four goals with their opponents.
Richarlison ended the day talking about a “memory for life” after scoring twice and contributing a virtuoso display on his debut for the Club.
The Brazilian would conceivably have had three points to celebrate with his teammates, too, were it not for the unfortunate Phil Jagielka’s sending off four minutes before half-time.
Wolves quickly equalised following Jagielka’s red card and the home team levelled again 11 minutes from time after Richarlison had restored the 10-man Blues’ advantage midway through the second half.
