Dele Ali has contributed indirectly to all 3 goals if most of us just notice one or two. What a miracle sub

1. First goal
Dele was fouled and given the free kick that led to Keane's goal

2. Second goal
Dele's strike towards goal rebounded onto Richy's path and the eventual goal


3. Third goal
This is where most of us didn't see his contribution other than DCL's goal. He stood beside DCL and a defender nearest to DCL. As soon as Gray let's fly the ball, he stepped sideway, stood his ground and blocked the defender for milli seconds allowing DCL to get a yard ahead to head home the golden goal.

I also want to add to how pivotal Dele was to the second goal.

In the first photo at the start of the move - Dele shows up twice for the ball on the left. (Mykolenko stayed further up on the left). But Pickford boots it up long to Gray.

In Photo 2 - as Gray jinks past a defender and starts the attack, Dele is still not in the frame but he's sprinting to get up the field now.

In Photo 3 as Coleman puts in the cross, Dele knows its going far post and possibly over the last man and he manages to get on the end of it, saves it from going out, his shot/pass rebounds off a defender and falls to Richarlison for the 2nd goal.

We don't get the 2nd goal, without Dele's football IQ. There's 11 seconds between the first screenshot and the third. When Gray makes the pass, Dele knows where to run.
 
Just took a peek at the Palace Forum CPFCBBS - wow they are bitter. Many hoping we get a points deduction and get relegated.

I have already posted that I hope PV is not punished - that fan getting in his face is a twit and does not represent the vast majority of Evertonians.

I understand the emotion. I have shed tears several times, tears of joy, but something needs to be done to stop pitch invasions before someone gets seriously injured.

Many fans are coked up these days, and that is a serious risk for players, managers and officials if they are on the pitch.

I don't have an easy solution, but the stewards were completely out of their depth. I also do not want a return to fencing.
 

That’s didn’t take long. We are all in this together
Ped: fans who don’t go the game don’t understand

Edit I’m not It sure he meant it like that

Sour grapes because we beat them so what ever happens in the other business will not change the result.
