Wolves bounce back to grab 1-1 draw with Everton
WOLVERHAMTON, England, March 8 - W olverhampton Wanderers came from behind to grab a 1-1 Premier League draw at home to Everton on Saturday night, with Marshall Munetsi getting the goal that gave them a vital point in their battle against relegation.
With 18th-placed Ipswich having lost to Crystal Palace earlier in the day, Wolves had a great chance to put some daylight between themselves and the bottom three against the visiting Toffees, and with some better finishing they might have claimed a victory.
In a game that was short on quality but offered plenty of excitement, Jack Harrison gave Everton the lead in the 33rd minute with a deflected effort that flew past Jose Sa and into the net.
Wolves levelled before the break when Munetsi steered home a perfectly-angled pass from Jean Ricner-Bellegarde.
Wolves threw everything at their visitors in the second half, leaving some wide-open spaced at the back, but despite enjoying the lion's share of possession they could not fashion a winner, with the draw moving them to 23 points, six clear of Ipswich and Leicester, who are 19th.
