It was crackers, wasn’t it?’ That was James Tarkowski’s summary of the point Everton grabbed in the 99th minute here at Molineux, the latest goal scored in the Premier League this season.
‘Crackers’ doesn’t really begin to cover it. Seismic would be another word, when you consider the implications for the future of the club should they go down. Historic, epic, gargantuan: choose your cliche. Let’s settle on the fact that it was a significant moment.
Everton will probably have to beat Bournemouth on Sunday to guarantee that they maintain their 69-year run in the top flight of English football but the difference between going into that game on the back of a soul-sapping 1-0 defeat or an uplifting 99th-minute equaliser is huge.
