Grealish Nets Late Decisive Goal as The Toffees Snap Palace's Undefeated Streak

Oliver Glasner looked on in astonishment as his squad members responded with shock to a stunning last-minute turnaround at Goodison Park. The Eagles' lengthy undefeated streak was broken thanks to the Everton midfielder's maiden goal for the Everton manager's team.

First-Half Control by The Visitors

From the outset, the away side imposed their control with set-pieces from the defender and precise distribution by the midfielder. Everton faced early attacks, with the Everton goalkeeper—celebrating his three-hundredth top-flight appearance for the club—called into action twice in the first two minutes.

Yeremy Pino and Tyrick Mitchell both found space on the fringes of the box, but the England international made the stops. The keeper later kept out the Palace captain from close range, with the defender taking the pace off the effort.

Palace kept up the pressure, with the left-back striking the side-netting and Jean-Philippe Mateta forcing a save from Pickford. In due course, the deserved opening goal arrived.

Muñoz Opens the Deadlock

Yeremy Pino shielded the ball under challenges from two opponents before releasing Ismaïla Sarr. The attacker carried forward and played a perfectly weighted pass to the overlapping Daniel Muñoz, who converted calmly for his second consecutive goal in two games.

The Home Side's After the Break Comeback

David Moyes made a double half-time changes, taking off new arrivals the forward and the winger. The substitutes, the striker and Carlos Alcaraz, brought immediate impact to Everton's hitherto lackluster attack.

Even with the improvement, the Eagles missed clear-cut chances to extend their lead. Jean-Philippe Mateta got through and lifted the ball over Pickford, only for the defender to clear off the line. Subsequently, Sarr dribbled past Pickford but saw his shot ricochet to Mateta, who dragged his shot wide from close range.

Penalty Levels the Match

The Toffees were awarded a way back when the defender clattered into Tim Iroegbunam in the area. Iliman Ndiaye stepped up and deceived the Palace keeper the opposite direction from the spot.

Jack Grealish Strikes at the Last Moment

With the match seemingly destined for a draw, Everton pushed for one final attack. Alcaraz—pivotal in the latter period—found Iliman Ndiaye on the right. Ndiaye floated a superb cross into the area, where Beto met a towering header.

Henderson somehow parried the point-blank effort, but the loose ball fell to Grealish, who blocked Daniel Muñoz's attempted clearance into the goal. Palace's winning streak was finished, ending in dramatic circumstances.
