Keane header takes Everton back into top four

Michael Keane headed the winner to take Everton back into the top four, with a 2-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Keane rose highest in the 77th minute to power home a left-wing cross by Andre Gomes from six yards out to give the Toffees their third consecutive Premier League away victory.

Alex Iwobi had given Everton a sixth-minute lead when he fired home Lucas Digne's centre from close range.

Ruben Neves levelled for Wolves eight minutes later, when he volleyed in Rayan Ait-Nouri's left-wing cross.

Neves also hit the outside of a post with a free-kick, but Everton saw out the match safely.

The Toffees move on to 32 points – level with Leicester City and three ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur – while Wolves slip to 14th on goals scored behind Crystal Palace.
