The Eagles defeat the Toffees
The Eagles defeat the Toffees
Everton’s wretched season continued as fans booed Rafael Benitez’s decision to substitute
Richarlison during another defeat at Crystal Palace.
Demarai Gray’s poor pass let in Jordan Ayew who found Conor Gallagher to sweep home his fifth Premier League goal
since joining from Chelsea on loan at the start of the season.
Four minutes later, James Tomkins made it 2-0 from close range following a corner by Will Hughes,
who was making his first start since joining Palace in August.
Rondon’s first goal for Everton gave Benitez’s side hope but Gallagher’s wonderful finish from outside the box in the closing
moments secured a thoroughly deserved win that lifts the Eagles above the Toffees into 12th spot in the Premier League table.
