Jack Grealish Shines as Everton Secures Victory at Wolves: A Maverick's Resurgence

Jack Grealish's stellar performance leads Everton to a thrilling 3-2 victory at Wolves, showcasing his maverick talent and resurgence under David Moyes.

Moments after the full-time whistle at Molineux, Jack Grealish bolted over an advertising hoarding and made his way towards Everton's jubilant fans. Grealish was mobbed like a rock star, with screaming fans stretching to get a touch of the player who once again inspired his new side to victory.

Grealish's Stellar Performance

Grealish has gone from forgotten man to main man since joining Everton on a season-long loan. After both assists in the 2-0 win over Brighton last weekend, he followed it up with another man-of-the-match display in Everton's 3-2 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers. He is the first Everton player to assist two or more goals in consecutive Premier League appearances for the Toffees.

Moyes' Praise for Grealish

"He is even better than I thought," said Everton boss David Moyes afterwards. "He probably needs a bit of love and attention. He needs the games as well. Hopefully he starts building on it and he gets even better as the season goes on."

Grealish's Impact on Everton

Grealish started just seven Premier League matches last season. He looks a player reborn wearing the blue of Everton after starting two of his new team's first three. As well as two assists in an action-packed display against Wolves, he was denied a goal by Jose Sa while he had 60 touches, made 35 passes, and finished the game with a passing accuracy of 91.4%.

A Maverick in the Team

"We often talk about not having mavericks in the team. Jack Grealish is a maverick, but he can play in a system and he can work hard for the team," former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock told BBC Sport. "The home fans last week at the new stadium were on their feet because he was battling for everything - he's got that side in him as well."

Looking Ahead

With the tournament starting next June, does Grealish - who has 39 caps and four goals for his country - still have time to force his way into Tuchel's World Cup plans? His recent performances suggest that he is more than capable of making a significant impact on the international stage once again.
