Everton slipped to a 2-1 home defeat on Boxing Day as relegation rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers came from behind to score a dramatic stoppage-time winner through Rayan Ait-Nouri.

The Toffees made the ideal start when Yerry Mina glanced in Dwight McNeil’s corner but the hosts conceded a sloppy equaliser before Ait-Nouri’s late strike secured a vital three points for Wolves, who move off the bottom of the Premier League.

Will Rooney was at Goodison Park for LiverpoolWorld and described the result as a ‘devastating blow’ for the Toffees as fans showed their frustration towards the players and manager Frank Lampard for the first time since his appointment in January 2022.

Watch the video above for his full reaction.
