Jack Grealish scored a stoppage-time winner to complete Everton’s come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, shattering the visitors’ club-record 19-match unbeaten run on a raucous afternoon at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Daniel Muñoz’s 37th-minute strike had put Oliver Glasner’s side on course for another statement win before Iliman Ndiaye’s 76th-minute penalty and Grealish’s dramatic intervention flipped the script.
Palace controlled long stretches and created the better chances, with Tyrick Mitchell striking the post and Jordan Pickford—on his 300th Premier League appearance—forced into several sharp saves. But David Moyes’ half-time changes injected urgency, and after Maxence Lacroix conceded a spot-kick for a clumsy collision with substitute Tim Iroegbunam, Everton’s belief surged. Dean Henderson denied Beto from point-blank range in stoppage time, only for Muñoz’s attempted clearance to cannon off Grealish into the roof of the net.
Palace in Command, Everton on the Ropes
Glasner’s team set an authoritative tone. Mitchell rattled the woodwork early, and Pickford’s gloves were warmed by efforts that showcased the visitors’ poise. Marc Guéhi and Jean-Philippe Mateta both drew strong stops as Everton struggled to disrupt Palace’s rhythm or to build sustained pressure of their own.
