Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace

at Goodison Park

GIVEN the situation they are in, Everton probably needed more than a point from a home game against a team in the bottom half of the Premier League, but a point is what they had to settle for against Crystal Palace on Monday night.

For a little over 20 minutes, it looked like they might not get any points at all as Palace forward Jordan Ayew fired an outstanding effort past Jordan Pickford with just over an hour played.

Dwight McNeil’s delivery had been good for Everton all game. He put a couple of crosses on the head of Dominic Calvert-Lewin from which the striker might have done better, but the misfiring forward hit the target with neither effort.
