“James Tarkowski headed Everton in front from inside the six-yard box, converting a corner after Crystal Palace had twice conceded set-piece situations in quick succession in the fourth and fifth minutes.”
Pivotal“Ismaïla Sarr levelled for Crystal Palace with a composed left-footed finish from the centre of the box, moments after Tarkowski's own header from a Garner cross had been blocked at the other end — Palace pouncing on the transition.”
Pivotal“Beto restored Everton's lead just two minutes into the second half, finishing calmly from the centre of the box after Tarkowski's perfectly weighted through ball split the Palace defence on a fast break — a sucker-punch that immediately punctured the hosts' equalising momentum.”
Pivotal“Substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta, introduced on 65 minutes, dragged Crystal Palace level with a goal that prevented what would have been a damaging home defeat, completing a patient Palace siege that had seen the hosts waste chance after chance.”

Outstanding performance
Everton•DefenderCrystal Palace dominated the statistics — 59 percent possession, 21 shots and six big chances created — but found themselves twice chasing the game against an Everton side who were ruthlessly efficient on the counter. The visitors took the lead through James Tarkowski's near-post finish from a corner after just six minutes, and despite Ismaïla Sarr levelling with a sharp near-post effort on 34 minutes, Everton immediately reasserted themselves through Beto's clinical finish two minutes into the second half, converting Tarkowski's incisive through ball on a fast break. Palace's inability to capitalise on their superiority — missing five of their six big chances — threatened to cost them dearly, but substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta provided the equaliser on 77 minutes to salvage a share of the points. For both sides mid-table in the Premier League, the point does little to shift their respective positions, though Palace will rue the magnitude of their wasted chances against a resilient Everton backline.
