Crystal Palace, under the new boss Oliver Glasner, experienced a 1-1 draw with Everton at Goodison Park. Amadou Onana's late goal canceled out Jordan Ayew's opener in a match that saw the new Palace manager observing from the stands. This encounter unfolded as a tense battle between two teams facing relegation threats.
Roy Hodgson's departure was confirmed before kick-off, and the match showcased a nervy performance from both sides. Ayew displayed a moment of individual brilliance in the 66th minute, receiving a well-held ball from Jean-Philippe Mateta before rifling it past Jordan Pickford into the far corner.
However, the late twist in this relatively uneventful match favored the winless hosts. Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed opportunities on either side of the break, but substitute Onana secured Everton's breakthrough by heading Dwight McNeil's corner home at the back post six minutes from time.
This result allows Everton to climb out of the bottom three, though they remain level on points with 18th-placed Luton Town, who have played one game less. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace sits five points ahead in the 15th position.
