90'+3
FULL-TIME: Wolfsburg 0-2 Everton - A deserved win for the Toffees in a match that saw Wolfsburg waste most of their possession on shotting at half-chances, while Everton countered well and got the goals they needed.
90'
We'll have three added minutes at the end of the game.
88'
Ross Barkley finds himself free in the Wolfsburg penalty area, and chips Benaglio, but the linesman rules it out for offside. Were the officials merely evening up the decisions? Without a replay, it's hard to say although he didn't look off on first glance.
82'
Everton sub: Christian Atsu comes on for goal scorer, Kevin Mirallas. Martinez gives the on-loan Chelsea winger a few pointers before setting him onto the field. His Everton career has so far been stuck in the doldrums. Perhaps a potent cameo tonight could spark things off for him?
81'
De Bruyne takes the corner which spills out to become an Everton counter. Ross Barkley runs with the ball but is then intercepted. Wolfsburg charge back up the field but their long range shooting again seems premature rather than threatening.
75'

Mirallas makes it two for the visitors. He is fed by Lukaku and twists this way and that on the edge of the box before firing across Benaglio and into the other corner. Great goal.
73'
Ross Barkley replaces Samuel Eto'o for Everton.
71'
Bendtner has an effort blocked now as Wolfsburg turn the screw.
70'
Bendtner now flashes an effort wide after good work from Schäfer.
68'
Lukaku slips the ball to Eto'o but his shot from outside the box is high and wide to the right. That was a chance for a player of his calibre.
65'
Perisic again! The Croatian forces a save from Tim Howard, who has to tip the ball behind for a corner. The delivery heads over to the other side of the box where Luis Gustavo sends the ball in the Naldo who fires it well over.
62'
Periisic - yes, him again - hits the post for 15 yards out. In truth, the shot probably lacked the required power to beat Howard, but once again the Croatian was at the centre of Wolfsburg's efforts in the final third. Meanwhile, Caliguri comes for Malanda in midfield for the hosts.
60'
Everton should be 2-0 up! Lukaku's shot is parried and the ball spills to McGeady who almost has an open goal to shoot at, but his shot heads towards the far post and misses, curling around the wrong side of the post.
57'
Another Wolfsburg attempts goes into the net; another linesman shows his flag for offside. This time however it's the correct decision, not that the home fans care. Boos roar out around the arena.
56'
Tim Howard is forced to save with his feet after De Bruyne sprints with the ball into the right-hand channel, attempting to first cut inside and then drive to the near post. He can't beat the American keeper however and his trickery goes unrewarded.
55'
Bendtner pulls to the right and plays Perisic in who lingers on the penalty spot. The Croatian can't do anything with it however, and the ball soon spills out for an Everton counter. The Toffees play it forward into their opponents half, but Wolfsburg look slightly be solid
53'
Aaron Hunt finds himself in the hole, takes a step, creates some space and fires off a shot. It's got plenty of power and menace but it screams straight into Tim Howard's waiting arms. The German is struggling to flourish given the presure being applied by Besic.
52'
Besic bursts forward, sending the ball to McGeady who attempts to find Lukaku but Wolfsburg soon recover and retake possession. Central defender Naldo attempts a wonderfully ambitious ball that cuts through every line on its way to Tim Howard, but the angle of delivery just isn't clever enough for Perisic to get on the end of.
50'
Malada lays off the ball for De Bruyne on the edge of the Everton box. His shot heads straight for the head of Jagielka who butts it out of danger. The shots keep coming for Wolfsburg but they're not of the quality required. Relying on pot luck and playing the numbers doesn't look like it'll be enough.
49'
It's worth remembering that Wolfsburg have only failed to score in one game so far this season. Surely with that record, an equaliser or more should be forthcoming to light up this second half?
