Everton captain Coleman: Fans passion made difference against Wolves

Everton captain Seamus Coleman hailed the impact of fans for victory over Wolves.

Richarlison's superb 48th-minute header earned Carlo Ancelotti's team a deserved win in front of 6,500 supporters.

Coleman, who made his 350th Toffees appearance in the game, told the club's website: “We can't underestimate the difference the fans made tonight.

“We've been crying out for them all season. We're disappointed with our home form but it's so great to see the fans back.

“It's a sign of things to come, hopefully, and they make a difference to our performances, without a shadow of doubt.

“They have every right to be frustrated with us, especially our home form. But today was a separate occasion. We made that clear before the game. It was about us doing it for our supporters.

“Everyone has had a tough time of it recently and it's a relief for the fans to be here, I'm sure.

“It was up to us to put on a performance – that can just be about running around and showing you care. That's what we did."
