A Goodison Park chief has experienced ecstasy scenes after Everton mathematically achieved permanent Premier League title. The ‘toffees’ needed victory to not wait for the final day on Sunday and, after a scary first half in which Crystal Palace were ahead 0-2, their fans celebrated an incredible comeback ( 3-2) by attacking the game field at the end of the match.
Everton struggled to create chances against Crystal Palace with more ball possession and in the first half only Richarlison, with a free-kick hitting outside the crossbar (17 ‘), was able to advance to the’ toffees ‘. .
On the other hand, Palace, who didn’t play anything, took advantage of two defensive errors to enter the break with 0-2. Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring by connecting, without a mark, a header from a free kick taken by Eberechi Eze (22 ‘).
Jordan Ayew 0-2
Everton continued to be powerless to produce dangerous plays and Palace no longer needed to increase their lead through the face of Jordan Ayew when Jordan Pickford denied a shot from Wilfried Zaha (36 ‘).
At the break, Frank Lampard left Andre Gomes in the dugout and brought in Dele Ali. Everton, who were more in the heart than the head, came back into the game with a free kick taken by Seamus Coleman. Mason Holgate returned and central defender Michael Keane, after taking control, was terminated from the net with his left foot (54 ‘).
Pickford avoids 1-3
The ‘toffees’, nervous, hurriedly made a mistake and Pickford saved their fragile defense from 1-3 by responding with a save with a shot from Mateta’s close range (64 ’).
They say faith is moving mountains and Everton, with their driving as the main argument, are proving to be permanent with two goals in the final quarter of an hour.
Calvert-Lewin unleashed the madness
Richarlison made it 2-2 via a cross shot when he rushed into the area to take a rebound after an attempt by Dele Alli (75 ‘). Ten minutes later it was 3-2 on another free-kick by Demaray Gray that was ended by Dominic Calvert-Lewin with a powerful header from the plate.
It was madness at Goodison Park, some fans stormed the pitch, but the game wasn’t over yet. Once order was restored, fans held back and, after seven minutes of injury time, celebrated their math survival in style. Burnley and Leeds will play in the final relegation place on the final day.
