Everton vs Crystal Palace
Everton have come from behind brilliantly to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 for their first Premier League win of the season. Things didn't start too well with a bleak first half that saw Palace snatch the lead in the 10th minute as Guehi poked past Pickford following a Lacroix head down. In fact, Everton heads were down for most of the rest of that period, yet Palace didn't take advantage of their momentum. Early in the second half, Sean Dyche's team looked transformed, and were immediately inspired by MOTM McNeil as he notched the first of his brace in the 47th minute. Young rolled it to him from the right, and he did the rest, curling a superb strike past a helpless Henderson from around 25 yards out. With Everton tails up, McNeil scored his second seven minutes later - latching onto a fine Harrison right-sided ball with the help of recovering Nketiah, before blasting home at the left-post. Stunned, the 0.85 xG Palace ultimately struggled to find a route back into the game, and Everton succeeded with an xG of 0.91, showing intent until the end. Now, Everton sit 15th and ready themselves for Newcastle at home. Palace are 17th, and continue their search for a win. However, high-flying Liverpool are next for them. Thank you for joining us today, goodbye!
