Ruben Neves 'ran the show' for Wolves in their 1-0 win away to Everton on Sunday afternoon, according to journalist Tim Spiers.

The Lowdown: Wolves seal crucial win

Bruno Lage's side made the trip to Goodison Park this afternoon in what was an important Premier League clash for both sides.

In the end, the game was settled by a ruthless second-half header by Conor Coady, who will have been particularly delighted given his Liverpool past.

The victory took Wolves to seventh in the table, leapfrogging Tottenham after their 3-2 defeat away to Manchester United on Saturday, and the Old Gold now sit just four points behind the fourth-placed Red Devils.

The Latest: Spiers praise for Neves

Taking to Twitter after the match, Spiers hailed Neves' performance as the 24-year-old's brilliant season continues:

The journalist gushed: "Ruben Neves was outstanding. Ran the show. What a guy."

The Verdict: European dream still alive

Neves rightly deserves enormous praise for his display at Goodison Park, with the 24-year-old enjoying a 90% pass completion rate (69 out of 77), winning six duels and completing all three of his dribbles as per Sofascore.

For Wolves, it was a huge three points as they built upon their midweek thrashing of Watford, also capitalising on Spurs' defeat yesterday to preserve strong hope of a European finish.

A Europa League spot may end up being more realistic than a top-four finish, especially as Arsenal will still have three games in hand on the Old Gold after tonight, but this team deserves European football of some kind at Molineux next season. Neves certainly does based on performances like today's.
