Everton Held by Wolves After Keane's VAR Red and Grealish's Dissent Dismissal

VAR intervention followed by dissent reduced Everton to nine men in a fraught draw.

Overview

  • The match ended in a draw that checked Everton’s push for Europe as Wolves extended their unbeaten run to three.
  • Michael Keane was sent off for violent conduct after a VAR review found he pulled Tolu Arokodare’s ponytail.
  • Jack Grealish received two quick bookings for dissent — the second for sarcastic applause — for his first Premier League red card.
  • A big-screen replay angered the home crowd, and David Moyes was booked for protesting the decision.
  • Keane had earlier scored from a set piece before Wolves teenager Mateus Mané equalised, with Jordan Pickford later preserving the point; 18-year-old Harrison Armstrong made his full league debut after a loan recall.
