Scoring a late, late equaliser with virtually the last kick of the game, almost the full nine minutes into stoppage time at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Everton made their point in their final away game of the season… or did they?
The blue pyrotechnics exploded, Sean Dyche’s players wheeled off in delight, loyal but long-suffering Evertonians who have (other than Southampton and Brighton) followed their team through thin and thinner on the road this term, roared with delight and those same Wolves fans who had taunted the visitors with chants of “Sign on” earlier in the day, now possessed faces like proverbial smacked backsides and were largely stunned into silence.
Given the nature of the way Everton snatched a share of the spoils at the death, this had to be seen as a moment of joy and celebration for a deeply-troubled football club but will it be enough?
