Everton's Marco Silva earned his second win of the Premier League season after a dramatic 3-2 victory over Wolves on Sunday.

Brazil forward Richarlison scored a brace, including the winner with 10 minutes left, to hand the Toffees their second win of the season.

It was an encouraging day for Silva, who handed first Premier League starts to summer signings Moise Kean, Alex Iwobi, and Fabian Delph.

Former Arsenal winger Iwobi scored for the second successive game, while Romain Saiss and Raul Jimenez, with his eighth goal in eight starts, had twice drawn the visitors level.

Wolves remain without a win in four league games after suffering their first defeat of the season.

Only Bolton, bottom of League One with none, had scored fewer goals heading into this weekend than Everton.

But Silva's side ended that run within 12 minutes, which provided as many goals as in Everton's previous 180 on the pitch.

The opener was a shambles from Wolves' point of view, with Conor Coady hesitating in playing a back pass to Rui Patricio, who was taken by surprise and could only stab the ball to Kean, who fortuitously diverted it into the path of Richarlison and he blasted into the net.
