After a chastening week for England’s finest, Everton emphatically restored pride here last night. If Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal were left red-faced following their meetings with the Bundesliga’s leading lights, Everton had no such problems at Goodison Park, blitzing Wolfsburg to announce their return to Europe in the grand style. From first whistle to last, Everton impressed, attacking with menace and defending stoically when questions were asked of them. The margin of victory — courtesy of an own goal and strikes from Seamus Coleman, Leighton Baines and Kevin Mirallas — was fitting reward.
