'Outclassed' - National media all say the same thing about Everton after Wolves defeat

Wolverhampton Wanderers have won back-to-back Premier League games following a well-earned 1-0 victory over relegation-threatened Everton at Goodison Park.

Conor Coady's second half goal was all that separated the two sides as Frank Lamaprd's Toffees plunged deeper into relegation trouble.

Here's how the national media reacted to the result...

Only Ryan Giggs has won more Premier League games as a player than Frank Lampard but one of the division’s royalty is increasingly threatened with ejection from the ranks of the elite. Everton’s position grows ever more precarious. Ever-present in the top flight since 1954, now only goal difference separates them from the bottom three.

They were imperilled by a fourth consecutive league defeat and by results elsewhere. Relying on others to save them seems a flawed theory when they showed precious little inclination to save themselves. They trusted that Goodison Park would make a difference. Instead a Merseysider did: Conor Coady, a former Liverpool player and lifelong fan who sealed Wolves’ first double over Everton since 1972-73.

They leapfrogged Tottenham, whereas Everton had been hammered 5-0 by Spurs. “This wasn’t more worrying than Tottenham,” said Lampard, but if Everton hit rock bottom in north London, a shambolic second half suggested improvement was limited. The boos at the final whistle were the most negative reaction Goodison has produced in Lampard’s reign but felt unsurprising after Jonjoe Kenny contrived to collect two cautions in three minutes and Everton ended up being outclassed by Rúben Neves.
