Might Everton look back on Yerry Mina poking in at Molineux to salvage an unlikely point with six seconds of nine minutes of second-half stoppage time to run as a defining moment in their fight for Premier League survival? It certainly felt significant as a blue haze, courtesy of flares lit by the travelling support, descended over this ground and the noise booming from the away end at full-time suggested this was a priceless takeaway.
A first relegation since 1951 is still a distinct possibility for Everton – they hover precariously a place and two points above the bottom three and their fate is no longer in their hands – but for Leeds and Leicester, who play across the next 48 hours, the late drama here represents a major blow to their hopes of staying up.
