Super-sub Sasa Kalajdzic nets late Wolves winner at Everton

Posted Sunday, August 27, 2023 by PA

Wolves substitute Sasa Kalajdzic scored a late winner two minutes after coming off the bench as Everton manager Sean Dyche’s decision to turn to some new faces produced a depressingly-familiar outcome.

The Toffees dominated this Premier League match – having 15 shots – but remain goalless and pointless in the 270 minutes they have played so far this season as the visitors scored with their only effort on target in the 87th minute.

Fans streaming out of Goodison had seen it all before as recently as a fortnight ago when a similar performance against Fulham also saw them lose 1-0 as they endured their worst start to a season since 1990-91.

Instant impact from the striker. He''s picked out in the middle of the @Everton box and makes absolutely no mistake rising high in front of goal! We lead at Goodison! #EVEWOL https://t.co/NNLmYv6S7v

But the supporters in old gold did not care as they headed back down the M6 celebrating their first win of the campaign – secured by a player making only his third appearance after rupturing his ACL in his first match last season – and their third in succession at Goodison Park for the first time.
