RED CARD MADNESS: WHY MICHAEL KEANE’S ACCIDENTAL HAIR-PULLING NEVER WARRANTED A SENDING OFF
Everton finished with nine men after Michael Keane and Jack Grealish were sent off in a chaotic 1-1 draw with Wolves. Read the fallout.
Everton really shot themselves in the foot in this one. Michael Keane and Jack Grealish both saw red in a 1-1 draw that kept Wolves’ momentum rolling.
Keane, who actually scored for Everton, got his marching orders after yanking Tolu Arokodare’s hair during an aerial tussle. That alone had the Hill Dickinson crowd and David Moyes fuming. But things got even uglier when Grealish picked up his second yellow—his first ever Premier League sending off—after he sarcastically applauded referee Tom Kirk. That was only Kirk’s second game at this level, and the whole stadium just lost it.
Funny thing is, Keane’s third goal of the season now makes him Everton’s joint-second top scorer in the league. That says a lot about the problems Moyes is juggling right now.
Everton actually looked comfortable after Keane’s 17th-minute poacher’s finish. They just didn’t build on it, and suddenly they fell apart at the back. Matheus Mane, who’s only 18, punished them—his second goal in as many games.
Wolves, somehow, have clawed their way out of a deep hole. Five points from three matches, including draws at Manchester United and now Everton, have pulled them out of that horrible run of 11 straight league defeats. Still, they’re 14 points from safety, so it’s not exactly time to relax.
Everton doesn’t have to worry about the drop, but just one win in their last six, and only two in seven at their new home, has pretty much killed off any wild dreams of Europe. If they’d won, they’d be just four points off the top four. But with a negative goal difference and only 23 goals in 21 matches, it’s clear why they’re falling short.
Moyes says January signings are basically off the table. Still, with survival sorted and Europe not a total fantasy, maybe it’s time to reconsider.
Now, with Keane banned for three games and Grealish out for one, things get even trickier. Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye are still away at AFCON, four more are injured, and the squad’s stretched so thin they had to recall 18-year-old Harrison Armstrong from Preston. The kid started his first Premier League game in midfield.
Everton’s goal came off a set piece. Dwight McNeil swung in a deep free kick, James Tarkowski nodded it across, and Iroegbunam scuffed a shot that landed right at Keane’s feet. He smashed it straight into the roof of the net. Later, Keane almost doubled the lead with a header from another free kick, but it bounced off the post.
Wolves looked like a different team after halftime. Just two simple passes cut Everton wide open. Yerson Mosquera had all day to play a ball down the middle to Jorgen Strand Larsen, who’d just come on. He slipped Mane through, and the teenager beat Jordan Pickford.
Pickford had to pull off an acrobatic save in stoppage time to keep out Hugo Bueno’s shot and save Everton from even more embarrassment.
BREAKING REPORT: CAPTAIN MICKY VAN DE VEN SLAMS "EXPOSED" TACTICS AFTER TUDOR’S DEBUT LOSS
North London is Red! Discover why Micky van de Ven believes Spurs' high-risk tactics failed against a clinical Arsenal side.
_1771790445.webp)
Tottenham captain Micky van de Ven didn’t hold back after Spurs got hammered 4-1 at home by Arsenal. He admitted they took a big risk, and it blew up in their faces.
It was Igor Tudor’s first match in charge, but Spurs looked second best all afternoon. Arsenal showed why they’re top of the league, pulling five points clear by the end.
Eberechi Eze put Arsenal ahead just after the half-hour, but Spurs hit back almost instantly. Randal Kolo Muani pounced on a mistake from Declan Rice and levelled it up just 24 seconds later.
At halftime, it was still anyone’s game. Then Arsenal just took over. Viktor Gyokeres bagged a quick brace, with Eze adding another in between. Spurs couldn’t keep up.
After the match, Van de Ven didn’t sugarcoat it. He said Arsenal deserved the win. Spurs tried going man-to-man with their marking, hoping to press high, but it backfired. Kolo Muani lost track of Eze for the first goal, and Joao Palhinha got beaten to the ball by Gyokeres right after halftime.
“Arsenal was the better team,” Van de Ven said. “At 1-1, we were still in it, but once they scored right after halftime, it got really tough. We could have pressed better. We went high, but Arsenal just played through us. That’s something we have to fix. When you go man for man, if even one guy is late, you’re exposed. You win the ball high; you get chances, but if you miss, you’re wide open. That’s the risk.”
Spurs still haven’t won a league game in 2026 and now sit in 16th, only four points clear of the relegation zone.
Even so, Tudor says he believes they’ll stay up. He knows the job’s huge, but he’s not backing down.
“Yeah, I’m confident we’ll stay up,” Tudor said. “Tough game, bad result. They beat us, and we have to learn from it. We get back to work on Tuesday harder than before. We have to improve everything, every part of our football. There’s a lot to do.”
GLASNER RESPONDS: MANAGER DENIES DISRESPECTING FANS AFTER "GLASNER FINISHED" BANNERS APPEAR AT SELHURST
Oliver Glasner speaks out! Discover why Palace fans held "Finished" banners and how the manager responded after the Wolves win.
Oliver Glasner insists he didn’t disrespect Crystal Palace fans, even after they held up a banner that read "Fans disrespected – Glasner finished” during the 1-0 win over Wolves at Selhurst Park.
The supporters also unfurled another banner, “Opportunities missed, board inept", making it clear they were upset after Glasner told fans to “be humble” when some turned on him during Thursday’s Conference League match against Zrinjski Mostar.
“There were a few boos, and there was a banner. That’s fine. I’ll always speak my mind and say what I believe. I don’t think I ever disrespected anyone,” Glasner said. “People who know me know I’ve got huge respect for everyone; it doesn't matter who they are, what their job is, their background, or anything.”
He gets why the fans are disappointed. He’s frustrated, too. Maybe even more than anyone else, he says, because he’s so ambitious and never satisfied. Glasner admits he might have pushed the players too hard, and he’s willing to take criticism for it.
“That’s fine. What matters is the fans supported the team; they helped us win,” he said. “If they feel disrespected, I’m sorry. I never meant it that way. Maybe I used the wrong words. But I won’t stop saying what I think is right. I tell my own kids all the time: stay humble, and remember where you come from. If anyone felt disrespected, I’m truly sorry. That’s never my intention.”
Glasner also said he’s had clear-the-air talks with the club’s board and that both the hierarchy and the players still back him to lead until the end of the season.
“If the club thinks someone else would get better results, I wouldn’t stand in the way. "That's what I wanted to say,” he explained. “If the players think a different manager would help them do better, I won’t stand in the way. In the end, it’s up to the players. But when I spoke to them, they said they’ve had the best two years of their careers, and they still believe in what we’re doing.
“The club feels the same. If they’d said, ‘We’re not convinced,’ then maybe it’d be time for a change. But that’s not the case. The club believes, the players believe. And of course, I always believe in this team.”
Crystal Palace finally picked up a Premier League home win, a first since November, and there’s some much-needed positivity. But let’s be honest, the banners at Selhurst Park showed that Glasner still has a long way to go to fix things with the fans.
That “fans disrespected – Glasner finished” banner said it all. The frustration is real, especially after Glasner told them to "be humble" following the backlash in Bosnia. He tried to clear the air after Sunday’s game, and while he apologised, his main point was that he doesn’t think he did anything wrong. He didn’t really back down.
Palace got the win, thanks to Evann Guessand’s late goal, but after a shaky performance and another tense press conference, it feels like this standoff between Glasner and the fans is far from over.
