Crystal Palace vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Eze ghosts in behind the Everton back line and is found by Guehi's long ball but the midfielder takes a poor touch as he tries to control it and Pickford is able to pounce onto the ball.

Edouard draws another foul - this time from Gray - and have another opportunity to send their centre-backs forward. Olise plays it short down the left flank to Mitchell but Tarkowski rises well to head the cross clear.

Holgate makes a good recovery tackle to deny Ayew's attempted cross but concedes a corner in the process. The home side play it short but Pickford is eventually fouled after he collides with Edouard in the air.

An encouraging start from Palace who are on the front foot and controlling possession in this opening period.

CHANCE!! A real good opening for Palace and Ayew should perhaps do better. It's a glorious free-kick delivery by Olise into a crowded penalty area. Ayew meets the cross but the forward can only glance his header well over the bar from close range.

Iwobi picks up a loose ball in the Palace half and dinks a nice ball into the box which Calvert-Lewin can attack but the striker's effort lacks the power and Johnstone saves comfortably.

McNeil firest Everton's first effort on goal but it's a tame effort and a comfortable save for Johnstone.

It's a fast start from the home side as Ayew's cross from the left just evades Edouard in the box.
