Crystal Palace 3-1 Everton
by Gene Sylvester at Selhurst Park

The final Premier League match of the weekend saw Everton travel to Selhurst Park to take on Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace side who ran out victors with a deserved 3-1 win to put their season back on track and leapfrog them above Everton in the table.

Crystal Palace had started the brighter of the two teams with Jordan Ayew, Odsonne Edouard and Conor Gallagher seeing plenty of the ball in Everton’s half.

And it was Ayew who had the first serious shot of the match 6 minutes in following a good interchange of play between himself and Edouard. The French striker’s cute ball around the corner sent Ayew through on goal, but the tight angle meant that the Palace forward’s shot was straight at Jordan Pickford in the Everton goal.
