Three And Easy For Everton
Everton dented Wolves' survival hopes with a comfortable 3-0 win over Mick McCarthy's struggling side at Molineux.
First half goals from Jermaine Beckford, Phil Neville and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov put the game beyond Wolves at the break.
Beckford broke the deadlock after 21 minutes when he capitalised on slack defending to head home Leon Osman's cross for his ninth goal of the season.
Everton skipper Neville added a second with a fine rising shot past Wayne Hennessey six minutes before the break.

Don't treat us as "untouchables", Afridi to BCCI
New Delhi: Shahid Afridi feels deeply hurt and has appealed to the Indian Cricket Board that Pakistan players shouldn`t be treated as "untouchables" when it comes to including them in the cash-rich Indian Premier League."It is high time that Pakistani cricketers should also get a place in IPL. For three seasons including the current one, we haven`t been a part of the IPL. We have no problems playing in India as we have just played a World Cup semi-final there. We are deeply hurt that they are treating us like `untouchables`," Afridi said.
