Jack Grealish provided two more assists as Everton held on to beat Wolves 3-2 at Molineux.
The recalled Beto put David Moyes' side in front early and though Hee-Chan Hwang levelled, Everton were ahead before the break when Iliman Ndiaye swept home from close range. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's superb strike made it three after the half-time.
Wolves made it a nervy finale with Rodrigo Gomes coming off the bench to pull a goal back and the same player came close to equalising in stoppage-time but it was not to be for Vitor Pereira's side, who have now lost three from three in the Premier League.
How they could do with the creativity of Grealish. He assisted the first goal, was instrumental in the second and then picked up his fourth assist in two Premier League starts for the third. The Everton fans chanted his name at the end, their team up to fifth.
Player of the match: Jack Grealish
Given that three Everton players were among the scorers at Molineux, Dewsbury-Hall picking up an assist to go along with his fine goal, some might be surprised to see Grealish named player of the match again but his superior ability just stands out.
He assisted two of the goals, taking his tally for the season to four - which is already double that of his past two seasons at Manchester City. Playing regularly again, it would be no great shock if he tops the Premier League rankings at the end of the season.
But it was the goal for which he was not directly involved that most obviously showcased his brilliance. Having been denied by Jose Sa moments earlier, his vision sent Dewsbury-Hall in behind to set up Ndiaye to find the back of the net. Class.
Moyes: Grealish better than I thought he was
Asked about Grealish's improvement, Moyes said: "Well, it's nothing to do with me, let me tell you, it's all to do with Jack and his own mentality to be better. There's a wee bit to prove, I think we all have in life. I think he's showing it at the moment.
"The biggest compliment I can probably give him is he's better than I thought he was. And he's showing a side to his game as well, he was defending back, he was tracking back.
"Him and Kiernan have just come away from probably two of the biggest sides and serial winners, so they have to fit into us at Everton.
"I think the boys are both really committed, in with the others, doing the work, Jack is as well. There may be times we don't get it always right, but I think what Jack gives us is something just on the edge, which hopefully is on the edge of creativeness."
Analysis: Wolves short of quality
Only West Ham are keeping Wolves off the bottom of the Premier League table and after three defeats from their first three games there is a growing feeling that this could be the season that the club drops back down to the Championship. They are short of quality.
Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri were always going to be big losses alongside Nelson Semedo. At present, the drop off in class is all too evident. Wolves pushed for an equaliser, causing some chaos, but a point would have been scarcely deserved.
Pumping long balls towards the giant Sasa Kalajdzic looked the best bet, but Wolves do not have players of the quality of Grealish or Ndiaye in the final third and it shows. It will be a struggle even with Jorgen Strand Larsen. Without him, hopes could be dashed.
That seems to be the sentiment among supporters who have seen their side extricate themselves from trouble in two of the past three seasons but see a side whose trajectory is very apparent. "Back the team or sell the club," they sang to the owners.
Pereira: It will be a tough season
Asked in the press conference about those chants and whether he feels backed, Pereira said: "They are trying to help the team. I hope until the end of the market they try to add at least two players to help us because we need more solutions. Especially in attack."
Pereira added that he also wants "solution in midfield because we need competition" and stressed that he empathised with the supporters. "I am suffering with them because, more than the result, I don't see my team playing the way we are working."
