Substitute Charly Alcaraz hit a late winner to give Everton a 1-0 home win over much-changed Wolves in the third round of the Carabao Cup. The victory tees up a meeting with Newcastle in an all-Premier League tie in the week commencing October 26.

Alcaraz's 80th-minute winner came just three minutes after coming off the bench, maintaining Everton's unbeaten start to the season. It was his second goal for the club, having scored 13 months ago in this competition. Everton were deserved winners over the Championship side, who made nine changes from last weekend's league win at Sheffield United.

Wolves' goalscoring hero at Bramall Lane, Raul Jimenez, started but was taken off midway through the first half with an injury. Wolves boss Cesar Peixoto revealed Jimenez will miss Sunday's Black Country derby against West Brom at Molineux.

Wolves debutant Joao Virginia was in inspired form against his old club, making a magnificent close-range save to deny Thierno Barry's header. Virginia then denied Everton substitute Brennan Johnson, but could do nothing to stop Alcaraz's powerful curling strike late on.
