at Selhurst Park

VERY few would have expected Selhurst Park to be the setting for the game of the day when this round of fixtures was produced, but Crystal Palace and Everton both played their part in a pulsating end-to-end encounter on Saturday afternoon in south London that saw the Toffees nick three points following a 3-2 victory.

“The game was a bit topsy turvy,” stated Everton boss Dyche following his team’s hard earned victory.

The Toffees boss continued: “Neither team really had a grip on the game in the first half and in the second half they [Crystal Palace] did. They were very good. We had to work very hard.”
