Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium experienced its most electric moment yet on Sunday as Jack Grealish’s added-time strike earned a dramatic 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, ending the visitors’ 19-match unbeaten run. In front of the South Stand, the goal sparked a wave of celebration, echoing memories of Goodison Park’s classic finishes.
For Palace, Sunday was a lesson in mental fatigue and missed opportunities. Despite coming off a UEFA Conference League trip to Dynamo Kyiv, they dominated large parts of the first half, with Jean-Philippe Mateta spurning multiple chances.

00:17In front of the south stand, the goal sparked a wave of celebration, echoing memories of Goodison Park's classic finishes.
00:24The winning goal was a curious one, Palace defender Daniel Munoz attempting a clearance, only for it deflected to off Grealish's boot and loop into the net.
00:35But to Everton, the method mattered little, it was the club's first winning home goal in added time since March 2022
00:42and only the third comeback in 31 Premier League home matches, each time against Palace.

01:04Tactically, Everton were initially disjointed.
01:06The absence of Kieran Dewsbury-Hall forced Moyes to shuffle his attack.
01:11Tyler Dibling and Tino Barry started while Ilman and Dai moved into a number 10 role.
01:17Both Dibling and Barry were substituted at half-time as the changes failed to take effect.
01:23Palace's fluidity exposed Everton's pressing early and Munoz gave them a deserved lead before the break.
01:29A late penalty from Njai allowed Everton to equalise and momentum shifted in their favour.

01:49While the defeat ended their unbeaten streak, it is no reason for alarm.
01:55Palace must manage fatigue and perhaps reinforce squad depth to sustain both Premier League and European ambitions.
02:03Everton, meanwhile, can celebrate a landmark win that showcased resilience, opportunitism and the spirit of a team finding its new rhythm and its new home.
