#4 Raul Jimenez (Wolves)

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Everton FC - Premier League
Raul Jimenez scored the equaliser for Wolves against Everton

Although Wolves had the numerical advantage against Everton following Phil Jagielka's 40th-minute red card, it was the Toffees who were looking to seal all three points at the Molineux as they led 2-1 thanks to Richarlison's brace.

That's when Ruben Neves, the man who scored Wolves' first goal with a sublime free-kick in the first half, spotted Raul Jimenez in the box with his hand up.

The Mexican striker had found some space in the box and Neves sent in a high cross to the back post where the 6 ft 2 in striker leaped up and headed the ball past a scrambling Jordan Pickford to make it 2-2 and share the spoils.

The Premier League returnees have work to do but the draw will give them confidence while Jimenez also looks to become the permanent spearhead the Wolves attack.

Signed on a season-long loan from Benfica, Jimenez is still coming to grips with how Wolves play but the signs are promising for the lanky striker.
