It wasn't pretty, but it didn't need to be.

After Ipswich's defeat at Crystal Palace, Wolves knew a result - any result - would push them closer to Premier League safety.

As it happened, even a draw was enough to put a positive end to the day as Wolves moved six points clear of the drop zone.

Vitor Pereira's side fell behind when Jack Harrison gave the Toffees the lead but Zimbabwe international Marshall Munetsi equalised five minutes before the break to score his first goal for the club.

In a cagey second half of few chances, Wolves came closest to scoring the winner but Jordan Pickford was equal to Jorgen Strand Larsen's effort.

The match won't live long in the memory but Wolves fans won't care if this is the point that keeps them up.
