Richarlison boosted Everton's hopes of European qualification with the only goal in a home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
In an even opening 45 minutes at Goodison Park Wolves came closest to scoring but Adama Traore's shot was tipped over by Jordan Pickford.
Everton took the lead three minutes into the second half when Richarlison rose highest to head in Gylfi Sigurdsson's corner.
Everton pressed for a second and after had John Ruddy denied Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Sigurdsson's deflected effort went narrowly wide.
A first Premier League double over Wolves keeps Everton in eighth place but they are level on 59 points with seventh-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who lost to Aston Villa this evening, and three points behind West Ham United in sixth.
Wolves stay 12th with 45 points.
