Match Thread Everton v Crystal Palace - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

Wanted to mention that first goal by the way. Credit to both Keane & Holgate who did really well to combine in the box there... something you never see from them.

Keane's finish was pretty brilliant

I like young Gordon but yes, he is a diver and a dramatic, exaggerating diver at that. This rolling over three or four times when he goes down is getting him a reputation which will stick unless someone taps him on the shoulder and tells him to cut it out.

It’s part of the modern game so he’d be at a disadvantage if he never went down after feeling contact. He just needs to learn better when to stay up and when to drop. At the moment he’s going down under easy challenges with the knock on effect of getting nothing for the actual pens/frees.

Keane was defo MOTM IMO.

People out there actually calling for us to get a points deduction for the pitch invasion haha lollol desperate that.

The red manc tramps were desperate for us to go down.

Should be a goal of the month contender that one, the first touch was brilliant.

…terrific reaction from the likes of Tom Davies, he’ll never want for anything in life but he’s one of us and last night mattered.

Great to also see a few of U23s in that tunnel absorbed in that incredible atmosphere.

I get the going down so that the ref has to make a decision, but rolling over and over will work against him if he keeps doing it

I've seen Messi score quite a few goals like that with the outside of the left. Didn't expect to see one from Michael Keane.

I don't think the media have quite realised how good it was.

Osman knew how good it was. It was very Messi/Salah like, where they take a quick touch and seem to finish quickly before a keeper can even set themselves.

Well we did it. That support outside and inside Goodison has gone around the world. Everyone of you should be proud of yourselves. The power of our fanbase should never be underestimated. Keep the banners and flags and blue smoke going into next season. We as a fanbase have set a standard now and we need to keep to it. We are the peoples club. Well done everyone.

They said that's the 1st time in the PL we've come back from 2-0 down to win but I'm sure QPR away we were 2-0 down ht and came back to win. Or was it 2-1 ht?

Idk I saw a stat last night that said that’s the first time since the early 70’s we’ve come from 2-0 half time to win in the top flight

Watching a lot of the training vids from the farm, if you never knew you'd swear Keane was a striker. He's been lashing them in all year.

It was an awesome finish, took some composure, skill and aim, such a narrow gap to get it through!

Fair play to the Lad, looked as happy as anyone at the end.

Shows you how much it actually means to the players too.
