Premier League: Wolves break duck, Everton hold Hammers

Nov 10,2024

Pablo Sarabia and Matheus Cunha struck to hand Wolves a first Premier League win of the season as they leapfrogged Southampton in the battle of the bottom two.

The pair scored either side of half-time to beat the Saints, who thought they had levelled through Republic of Ireland full-back Ryan Manning before VAR intervened with the visitors failing to manage a single effort on target.

Yoane Wissa's double saw Brentford bounce back from Monday’s defeat at Fulham with a 3-2 victory over Bournemouth.

After Evanilson had taken advantage of a Sepp van Den Berg error to give the Cherries an early lead, Wissa’s headed the hosts level and although Justin Kluivert put the visitors ahead once again, Mikkel Damsgaard and Wissa’s second proved decisive.

Nathan Collins, the only other Ireland international to feature in the 3pm kick-offs, played the full 90 minutes for the hosts.

Harry Wilson came off the bench for Fulham to make it three goals in two games and consign 10-man Crystal Palace to a 2-0 defeat at Selhurst Park.

Emile Smith Rowe opened the scoring two minutes into first-half stoppage time and Wilson sealed the win with seven minutes remaining after Daichi Kamada had been sent off for a poor 76th-minute challenge on Kenny Tete.

Jordan Pickford earned Everton a point from a stodgy goalless draw with fellow strugglers West Ham.

The England goalkeeper kept out efforts from Jarrod Bowen and Guido Rodriguez and made a stunning late save from Danny Ings as the Toffees bounced back from last weekend’s defeat at Southampton with a gutsy draw, during which Hammers’ midfielder Crysencio Summerville rattled a post.
