But the guests started the first half very well and went 21 minutes ahead. Jean-Philippe Mateta, coming out of the set-piece unnoticed, nodded lightly to the bottom corner from close range.
Then there was the controversial moment when Jordan Ayew’s challenge against Anthony Gordon left many wondering if a penalty should have been awarded. But despite this, on 36 minutes, the guests doubled their lead. Ayew was there to breastfeed the ball and then scored into an empty net from a Jordan Pickford shot to make it 2-0.
Everetton head coach Frank Lampard tried to turn things around in the second half by introducing Dele Alli. In the 54th minute, the hosts managed to cut the score after Michael Keane’s strike in the 54th minute. After Crystal Palace created a couple of attacks, but Pickford was in place.
On 75 minutes, Everton managed to level the score. Richarlison scored the goal.
