Substitute Charly Alcaraz scored a crucial late goal, leading Everton to a 1-0 victory over a reshuffled Wolves in the third round of the Carabao Cup. This win sets up an exciting encounter against Newcastle in an all-Premier League clash scheduled for the week of October 26.

Alcaraz's decisive strike in the 80th minute came just three minutes after he entered the game, ensuring Everton maintained their unbeaten start to the season. This goal marks only Alcaraz's second for the club, with his previous goal occurring 13 months ago in the same tournament.

Match Highlights:

• Everton dominated the match against a Wolves side that made nine changes from their previous league victory over Sheffield United.
• Raul Jimenez, a key player for Wolves, started but was substituted due to injury in the first half.
• Joao Virginia, making his debut for Wolves, showcased impressive goalkeeping, notably denying Thierno Barry with a remarkable save just before halftime.
• Jordan Pickford, Everton's goalkeeper, also made an essential stop to thwart Adam Armstrong early in the second half.
• Despite Virginia's efforts, he could not prevent Alcaraz's powerful curling shot from finding the net.

The victory brought joy to onlookers, including UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, both avid Everton supporters, as the club continues its pursuit of their first silverware since 1995.
