Before Monday night, the Nigerian international previous goal in the English top-flight was in January, which also came against Wolves.
However, despite his strike, it was not enough to save the Toffees from a 2-1 loss at the Molineux. Rafael Benitez's men went into the game with the hope of bouncing back from a 5-2 home loss to Watford last weekend.
But they got off to a bad start as Max Kilman put the home side ahead in the 28th minute. Raul Jimenez then doubled the lead four minutes later as Wolves took a two-goal lead into the break.
The second-half resumed with Everton applying the pressure, and it paid off in the 66th minute as Iwobi slotted home a loose ball.
But despite their efforts to find an equaliser, it was Wolves that took the three points, courtesy of the first-half goals.
