    Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Right, that's all from us after what became a very entertaining game between Everton and Crystal Palace.

    The home team dominated possession and created the most chances but Palace were worthy of a point. 

    Join us again tomorrow when the focus turns to the Champions League and the final games in the group stage.

    Manchester United travel to Wolfsburg and may need to win to stay in the competition, while Manchester City host Borussia Moenchengladbach and could overtake Juventus to top their group if they win and the Italian champions lose at Sevilla.

    We'll see you then.

    Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew: "It was a great game, Everton are in form and we were brilliant tonight and some decisions could have gone our way.

    "The second decision (Funes Mori challenge on Jordon Mutch), he was 12 yards away and I asked him but he didn't give me answer. I have to accept that. A draw was a fair result. 

    "If we could have seen that five minutes out after our goal, it might have been different, but all credit to Everton they kept coming and we are really pleased with a draw as it takes us sixth and with a home game to come.

    "We showed tonight we have quality."

  4. Lukaku sensational - Martinezpublished at 22:14

    Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Roberto Martinez on Romelu Lukaku: "He has been very consistent throughout the year, not just this season. To score 26 goals in a calendar year is sensational. He is always there to give us a focal point and score goals. 

    "It was a big moment. One hundred games is a landmark moment and 50 goals is a remarkable return. He's only 22, he is in a very good moment of his career. He is vital in everything we are trying to do."

  5. Martinez 'delighted' & 'disappointed'published at 22:12

    Everton boss Roberto Martinez on Sky Sports: "It was a well fought performance. They are very direct, they use their power and pace very well and we coped until the last 10 minutes. You have to score goals against them and we hit the post and crossbar, and on another day we would have scored them and made the difference. 

    "Their record shows that they don't give leads away, we are delighted we got back into it but were disappointed we dropped two points in our eyes." 

  6. Palace's second draw of the seasonpublished at 22:10

    Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Tonight's result was just Crystal Palace's second draw of the season as they failed to win having led for the first time in 2015-16.

    In contrast, Everton have drawn seven of their 15 league games. Only Tottenham can beat that total with eight draws.

  7. Dann the manpublished at 22:05

    A word too for boyhood Liverpool fan Scott Dann, who headed Palace in front. 

    The centre-half nodded the winner when Palace won against Liverpool at Anfield a month ago. 

    He obviously feels at home on Merseyside.

  8. Lukaku strikes againpublished at 22:00

    Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Oliver Boden and Louis Omoni both tweeted us to point out how prolific Romelu Lukaku has been while his former club Chelsea are struggling so badly in front of goal.

    The Belgian has been slightly overshadowed by Jamie Vardy's form but he now has 14 in all competitions (11 in the league) this season.

    Overall he has 50 in 100 Everton appearances. A very impressive ratio.

  9. Lukaku the team manpublished at 21:58

    Everton goalscorer Romelu Lukaku on Sky Sports on whether his side deserved the win: "Of course. We had a lot of chances and we were unlucky when we hit the crossbar. After their goal we reacted well, it shows we have great character in the team." 

    On reaching 50 Everton goals, he added: "I am proud but I'm a team performer, so I'm happy with the record but disappointed we didn't get the three points."

    What a combination these two are proving to be for Everton - Deulofeu and Lukaku. The striker is getting in the areas to score goals and he is getting plenty of assists from the likes of Barkley and Deulofeu.

    Both sides will feel as though they could have won this game - Palace were excellent on the break but credit Everton for coming back into the game. When you go behind so late it is difficult to regroup. I thought it was an excellent game to watch and both managers can be happy with the performance of their team.

    Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Everton make the last attack of the match and Arouna Kone has a shot deflected behind but before the corner can be taken, referee Craig Dawson blows the full-time whistle.

    The point takes Palace up to sixth while Everton also climb two places, to ninth.

    A breathless last half-hour or so after 60 minutes of (mostly) sparring.

    Nearly an opening for Romelu Lukaku but Palace's James McArthur makes a crucial challenge 10 yards out.

    Jordon Mutch robs the ball from the dozing Gareth Barry but drags his shot wide. Should have done better there.

    That is a penalty for Palace! Funes Mori does not get the ball - he takes Mutch out . The assistant referee was in line with that and should be giving it.

    Crystal Palace's James McArthur is booked for a late challenge on Seamus Coleman.

    Shortly before Palace had a penalty shot as Ramiro Funes Mori appeared to catch Jordon Mutch, although the contact was just outside the area.

    Nothing given though - and Kevin Kilbane obviously saw the incident slightly differently...
