Analysis: Mixed feelings for Edwards as Mane shines again

Wolves manager Rob Edwards looked disappointed at the final whistle after his side could not capitalise on Everton being reduced to nine players following the dismissals of Michael Keane and Jack Grealish.

Edwards must have thought Hugo Bueno's spectacular strike had brought the riches of a second successive league win, only for Everton keeper Jordan Pickford to pull off a world-class save.

The manager, however, will be delighted that the recent improvement, that saw Wolves run Arsenal and Liverpool close before losing, get a draw at Manchester United and then get that elusive first win against West Ham, was maintained.

Heads could have dropped after going behind so early, but there is fresh determination about Wolves under Edwards.

It would take the stuff of miracles for Wolves to avoid the drop, but there is no doubt there has been progress in recent weeks.

This is exemplified by the exciting Mateus Mane, who followed on his fine display in the West Ham win with another demonstration of his quality, this time an ice-cool equaliser.

The teenager, brought in as an academy player from Rochdale, is emerging as a real high spot this season – although his form will have already caught the attention of potential transfer suitors.
