Follow live reaction as Everton came from two goals down at half-time to beat Crystal Palace and secure their Premier League safety at a raucous Goodison Park.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 85th minute winner rescued Frank Lampard’s side and sparked a pitch invasion from the home supporters, after goals from Michael Keane and Richarlison pulled them level.

At half-time, and with Burnley leading Aston Villa, Everton were facing the possibility of needing to go to Arsenal on the final day of the season and getting a result.

Despite making a positive start in what was a noisy atmosphere at Goodison Park, the visitors took the lead when Jean-Philippe Mateta was allowed space to score a free header from Eberechi Eze’s free-kick.

It went from bad to worse for Everton as Jordan Ayew, who was fortunate to escape a red card for a high challenge on Anthony Gordon, punished a series of defensive mistakes to double Palace’s lead.

Michael Keane got one back after half-time to spark the comeback, and Richarlison equalised with 15 minutes of normal time remaining with a scrambled finish. But Calvert-Lewin’s header was greeted by wild scenes - which continued at full-time as the Toffees celebrated staying in the Premier League.

FT: Aston Villa 1-1 Burnley

Could this be the miss which sends Burnley down? Wout Weghorst had the opportunity to win the game for Mike Jackson’s side with five minutes remaining.

Everton 3-2 Crystal Palace

90+6 mins: Benteke takes a long ball down inside the penalty area but he used his arm to do so.

Everton have a free-kick with 60 seconds remaining. Pickford will run this down as much as possible.

Everton 3-2 Crystal Palace

90+4 mins: Calvert-Lewin goes down on the edge of the Palace area but doesn’t get a free-kick that the whole of Goodison is calling for.

Palace lump it into the box and Ayew flicks it on but Pickford then earns a foul after getting to the ball ahead of Benteke.

Lampard prowling.
