Rayan Ait Nouri grabbed the winner five minutes into stoppage-time as Wolverhampton Wanderers moved off the foot of the table with a 2-1 victory over Everton on Monday in manager Julen Lopetegui’s first Premier League game in charge.
Ait Nouri scored from close range at the back post after a quick break from the visitors to spark wild celebrations from the players and the bench, and leave Frank Lampard’s strugglers walking off the Goodison Park pitch to boos.
The victory will be a big boost for Lopetegui and Wolves, whose last away Premier League win came in March, also at Goodison Park. They had taken only three points on the road from a possible 33 since then. "It was a final for us and every game will be a final now," Wolves captain Ruben Neves told BBC's Match of the Day. "As a team we did very well and handled Everton's pressure. It's a really hard place to come and play but I think we deserved the win.
Everton hit the front inside seven minutes with their first goal from a corner all season. Dwight McNeil swung in the set-piece and an unmarked Yerry Mina headed in his first Premier League goal for two years.
