In Monday night’s Premier League clash, Everton secured a crucial point at home against Crystal Palace, thanks to a late equalizer from substitute Amadou Onana. The match, which ended 1-1, saw Everton dominate chances but fall behind to a stunning strike from Palace's Jordan Ayew. However, Onana's header in the 84th minute salvaged a draw for the Blues.
Sean Dyche made a single change to the Everton lineup, bringing back Abdoulaye Doucoure from injury. Despite Everton starting brightly, they struggled to create clear-cut opportunities. Palace had the first shot, with Odsonne Edouard's effort easily saved by Jordan Pickford.
Doucoure came close with a volley that went just wide, while Everton's pressure forced several misplaced passes from Palace. Dwight McNeil's cross found Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but the striker couldn't find the target.
Palace had a chance on the counter, but Edouard blazed his shot over the bar. Ashley Young cleared a header off the line as Palace grew into the game.
After the break, James Garner curled an effort over the bar, and Pickford denied Tyrick Mitchell. Everton pushed for a goal, with Vitalii Mykolenko's volley saved by a defender's leg.
A flurry of chances followed for Everton, but they couldn't find a breakthrough. Onana eventually equalized with a powerful header from Garner's cross. Despite late efforts, including a Tarkowski header over the bar, Everton couldn't find a winner, and the match ended in a draw.
The result leaves Everton with a valuable point but will be disappointed not to have capitalized on their dominance in chances.
