Everton hit two late goals to beat Crystal Palace at Goodison Park.

The Toffees endured a frustrating afternoon and had Jordan Pickford to thank for saving Luka Milivojević’s second-half penalty.

Substitutes Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun then scored late goals to seal all three points. Relive the match below.

It’s a big game for…

Patrick van Aanholt: The Dutchman delivered a poor performance against Wolves, giving the ball away cheaply at times and he was beaten far too easily by Matt Doherty’s movement for the goal. With the likes of Theo Walcott, Bernard and Richarlison providing both pace and excellent movement up front, Roy Hodgson will hope his limited exertions with the Netherlands have given him sufficient time to come back refreshed.

Best stat…

7: Gylfi Sigurdsson has contributed to seven goals in his last six Premier League starts against Crystal Palace. The 29-year-old Icelandic midfielder has scored three goals and registered four assists in that time against the London club.

Player to watch…

Bernard: The Brazilian has had to bide his time at Goodison Park, making just one substitute appearance in his first month on Merseyside. However, the former Shakhtar Donetsk winger was superb against Leicester, setting up Richarlison for Everton’s opener after jinking past two defenders, while showing similar skill on various other occasions. Bernard did not shy away from his defensive duties either, and those are ominous signs for Palace as the summer signing’s confidence increases.

Walcott involved again. This is better from Everton. Digne's shot is deflected out for a corner.

Digne's corner is nearly met by Keane. Coleman charges forward but his cross is cleared. Constant waves of pressure from the home side now.

This time Digne is over a free-kick. Good delivery. Schlupp clears after pressure from Richarlison inside the box. Palace must stay switched on here.

Groans from the home crowd as Sigurdsson gives the ball away in a good position. That was sloppy from the Iceland midfielder.

That's an impressive run from Wan-Bissaka. He beats Digne for pace and plays in a good cross. Everton manage to clear.

Milivojevic's penalty is SAVED by Pickford!

That was a poor spot kick from the Serbian. He went straight down the middle and hoped that Pickford would dive to one side. The England keeper went to his left but saved with his feet. A huge opportunity missed for Palace.

This time it's Hennessey that saves Palace! Walcott is played in and looks certain to give his side the lead. The Wales keeper denies him with a good save from close range.
