November 11, (THEWILL) – An action-packed Premier League clash saw Everton claim a crucial 3-2 victory away to Crystal Palace on Saturday. Despite twice surrendering the lead, the Toffees showed resilience to snatch the win late on thanks to Idrissa Gueye’s composed finish.
The visitors stormed out of the blocks, taking the lead inside the opening minute through Vitalii Mykolenko’s header. However, Palace responded swiftly, with Eberechi Eze converting a penalty just three minutes later to restore parity.
Everton retook the lead in the second half when Abdoulaye Doucoure pounced, on a rebound, but more drama was to follow. A calamitous error from James Tarkowski allowed Odsonne Edouard to level things up again for the Eagles.
With the game delicately poised, it was Gueye, who stepped up to be the hero, showing great technique and composure to fire home the winner with four minutes remaining. The strike capped an excellent away performance by Sean Dyche’s side.
Despite a valiant effort from Palace, Everton’s resilience and determination proved the difference, as they held on for a vital three points. The result provides a major boost to their English Premier League survival hopes under Dyche.
