There was, albeit briefly, some enjoyment. For two minutes in the second half, there were cheers and laughter as a stray black cat scuttled from one end of Goodison Park’s pitch to the other before disappearing into the shadows. Black cats, however, are supposed to bring good luck with them but, on this occasion, there was nothing for Everton. The only thing the locals felt at the final whistle was that familiar sinking feeling, having seen their team torn asunder. Wolves had recorded their first win at this stadium since September 1979 and there was nothing flattering about the size of their victory. Nuno Espirto Santo’s side consolidated seventh place with a fluent display, one that was aided and abetted by some horrible Everton defending. Leander Dendoncker showed good composure inside the box to make it three midway through the second half The ball bounced up to Dendoncker and the Wolves midfielder blasted the ball into the roof of the net on the volley Dendoncker (pictured) and Raul Jimenez piled the pressure on Marco Silva as Wolves dominate Everton at Goodison Park MATCH FACTS, LIVE LEAGUE TABLE AND MATCH ZONE Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Zouma, Keane, Baines, Davies, Andre Gomes, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Tosun.

CLICK HERE to see more from Sportsmail's MATCH ZONE. Through Ruben Neves, Raul Jiminez and Leander Dendoncker, Wolves scored three to render Andre Gomes’ sparkling strike irrelevant and not for a moment did they give the impression they would leave with anything other than three points. The more you watch Nuno’s team, the more they leave a positive impression and you would not think they only six months out of the Championship. They are polished and progressive and will be a fixture in this division for a long time to come. There was little chance of them coming to Merseyside and hoping to pinch something and the intent was clear from the first whistle; within seven minutes, Wolves had the lead but the manner in which Everton conceded did little for Silva’s state of mind. When Matt Doherty got the wrong side of Leighton Baines, the danger rose as the veteran full-back got in a tangle. He tumbled over, taking Doherty with him, and Lee Mason swiftly pointed to the spot. Neves dispatched the penalty with aplomb, sending Jordan Pickford the wrong way. What promised to be a difficult afternoon for Everton suddenly became a significantly greater challenge and the silence of the home supporters amplified their tensions; there was, clearly, apprehension that Wolves might quickly take the contest away from them. Raul Jimenez connected with Joao Moutinho's free-kick to send a bullet header into the net to restore the away side's lead The goal for the Wolves forward came just moments before the half-time interval - a perfect time for the away side The goal to put Wolves back in front at Goodison Park was the former Atletico Madrid forward's 11th goal of the season Everton did not instantly submerge. They were indebted to Pickford – whose fine save thwarted Leander Dendoncker in the 20th minute – for keeping them in the contest and, shortly after, they were level with a quite superb goal. Neves might be a Portuguese midfielder getting headlines but his compatriot Andre Gomes has similar ability and he showed why Evertonians hold him in such high regard when he thrashed an angled drive beyond Rui Patricio from 20 yards. The problem with Everton now, though, is that everything feels so fragile. Normally a goal of such quality would ignite the crowd and spark a period of pressure but Wolves were able to roll this particular punch and were soon back on top, taking the lead on the stroke of half-time. Again the manner in which Pickford was beaten was ridiculous: Michael Keane needlessly fouled Diogo Jota and Joao Moutinho’s inswinging free-kick from 40 yards picked out Jiminez, who guided a thumping header beyond the England international. It was a ridiculous time to concede and the way in which Marco Silva glowered towards his players left you in no doubt his feelings but here’s the thing: Everton have now shipped 16 goals from set pieces in all competitions, a statistic that isn’t so much bad luck but vandalism. Andre Gomes received a pass and smashed a rocket of a shot from outside the penalty area into the top right corner The Barcelona loanee has been one of Everton's more consistent formers this campaign and he leveled the scores Gomes celebrated the goal with the home fans who saw their side go behind early on at the Merseyside stadium Evertonians expected a big response in the second period but the truth was they ended up being bossed for the second 45 minutes; Wolves had them exactly where they wanted them and the only surprise was that their counterattacking yielded only one more goal. Dendoncker, such a powerful figure in the centre of midfield, provided the final blow. Jota raced into the area and after Kurt Zouma blocked his shot, the Belgian was on hand to finish with a flourish, thrashing a left-footed volley into the roof of the net. As those in Old Gold celebrated in front of the Bullens Road, you could hear the clatter of seats as Evertonians displayed their feelings with their feet and the ground began to empty. There were still 23 minutes to go but everyone knew the outcome. Wolves were flying, Everton were floundering. Leighton Baines brought down Matt Doherty and referee Lee Mason had a clear view of the foul and awarded the penalty Ruben Neves won the battle of wills and sent an unstoppable penalty past Jordan Pickford into the bottom right corner That was Neves' fourth goal of the season for the visitors and it sent the newly-promoted side in front on Saturday Kurt Zouma consoles Baines who gave away the penalty in the first half that resulted in Neves converting from the spot The Everton goalkeeper looked disappointed to have conceded two goals to Wolves in the first half on Saturday Wolves shot-stopper Rui Patricio had contrasting emotions to his opposite number as he celebrated Wolves' second strike Nuno Espirito Santo was forced to make a substitution as goalscorer Neves limped off the pitch in the second half Diogo Jota fell over the trailing leg of Everton goalkeeper Pickford as the Toffees shot-stopper held on tightly to the ball Jota squirms around on the floor after a heavy challenge from Gylfi Sigurdsson who protests to referee Lee Mason Everton top scorer Richarlison went down after a challenge from Wolves goalscorer Ruben Neves in the first half Nuno Espirito Santo and Marco Silva smiled and shared a joke with each other before the match at Goodison Park All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
