Against a team many pundits have suggested could be the highest finishing promoted team ever. Although didn't Forest finish 2nd one year? Either way there is a gulf in class between Wolves and say Cardiff. Or some other teams that have been promoted in the past. I think they'll do well and stay in the Prem for a fair while.
Also didn't he join Watford straight after having played 17 games for Fluminense? Then play another 38 for Watford? The guy was knackered. Its not like he was the only Watford player to experience a dip in form.
Either way I don't care how he scores them as long as he does (Shearer scored plenty of tap ins worse than that). Plus his second was a great goal. We've been poor at goal scoring since we sold Rom and didn't replace him.

The difference Silva has made already is huge. Under Allardyce we would have lost that game by several goals. Even with 10 men it looked comfortable and the team had a very good defensive shape. With Mina and Zouma to come into the squad when fit, Everton should have some pace at the back soon. It was great to see Richarlison get off the mark, his second was quality. If he carries on like that for the rest of the season and keeps improving there won't be too many people questioning the fee. If he stays fit he's capable of reaching double figures in goals and assists come the end of the season. Everton finally have someone who can create and score goals with some pace in the forward line. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Bernard and Richarlison play together when the former is fit. Watford were solid but they played too conservatively and really didn't take the game to Everton. Both teams have players to improve their teams so it'll be interesting to see where they end up at the end of the season. It was a tricky first game away at Wolves but the team played very well. Looking forward to what should be a good first season under Silva. It feels like the beginning of something.
Scoring a tap in for his first league goal in 9 months against fucking Wolves?
