Match Report
Crystal Palace and Everton played out a pulsating 2–2 draw at Selhurst Park, though the result ultimately favoured neither side after a match full of momentum swings. Everton made a bright start when James Tarkowski headed them in front in the sixth minute, only for Crystal Palace to level through Ismaïla Sarr just before the half-hour mark, sending the sides into the break level at 1–1.
Everton retook the lead almost immediately after the restart, with Beto converting in the 47th minute to give the visitors the advantage. Palace pushed back and were rewarded when Jean-Philippe Mateta equalised in the 77th minute, ensuring the spoils were shared. Everton dominated possession at 59% and registered 21 total shots to Palace's 13, with their expected goals figure of 2.56 comfortably outstripping the hosts' 1.59, suggesting they were the stronger side across the 90 minutes — a finding consistent with our AI model's pre-match assessment, which rated an Everton win as the most likely outcome at 50%. Crystal Palace's ten corner kicks, however, reflected their determination to find a winner late on.
