In a match overshadowed by managerial changes and Everton’s looming appeal against a 10-point deduction, both sides fought to a draw at Goodison Park.
Jordan Ayew put Palace ahead with a stunning strike in the 66th minute, seemingly securing the win. However, Everton’s Amadou Onana had other plans, nodding in a crucial equalizer in the 84th minute.
The draw lifts Everton out of the relegation zone, albeit temporarily, while Palace move to 15th place.
For Everton, the result is a relief amidst off-field uncertainties, with Sean Dyche urging for a swift resolution to their appeal.
Despite the draw, Palace will rue conceding late once again, highlighting a pressing issue for their new manager Oliver Glasner to address.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal drought continues, missing key chances, while Everton’s reliance on set pieces remains evident, with Onana’s goal coming from a Dwight McNeil delivery.
Both teams will look ahead to their next fixtures, with Everton facing Brighton in hopes of ending their winless streak.
