    GOAL - Everton 3-1 Crystal Palacepublished at 87 mins

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin (87 mins)

    DCL wraps up the points!

    It all came from Everton's first corner of the game, with Richarlison leaping highest in the box to head Lucas Digne's out-swinging delivery against the bar.

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin reacts quickest to the loose ball and prods in from close range.

    Game, set and match.

    Great work from Seamus Coleman to out-run Wilfried Zaha, take the ball off the Crystal Palace dangerman and then dribble beyond him before booting clear.

    Mason Holgate is coming on for Everton. A defensive change with Gylfi Sigurdsson making way.

    Almost feel like Everton are inviting pressure here...

    The visitors are allowed time to hoist another ball into the box and Christian Benteke swivels before slicing wide.

    Seamus Coleman and Wilfried Zaha are having another tussle. The Palace forward wins a free-kick, but Michael Keane rises highest to nod clear.

    Owen: Palace don't deserve to be one down. Should walk away with one point at least.

    Asa, Yorkshire: Everton have been on another level than Palace. Could not disagree more with Vicky at two o'clock. Everton have got this in the bag.

    Tommy N: Re Rachel T at 14.01.Best early game in a while? Leicester Chelsea last week was good.

    Everton's switch to a 4-5-1 since Bernard went off isn't really bearing fruit. Tom Davies, who is playing in the number 10 role, is getting some stick after passing the ball straight out of play.

    For all the talk of an upsurge under Carlo Ancelotti, Everton are still a work in progress.

    Yerry Mina flicks the corner clear, and Wilfried Zaha knocks it behind for a goal kick after trying to bring down a flighted ball back into the box.

    Richarlison thinks he's won a corner, but referee David Coote says otherwise. The Brazilian, like his manager, is furious.

    He'll be even more angry if Crystal Palace score from a corner at the other end now...

    Morgan Schneiderlin works hard to win the ball back and that brings a cheer from the Goodison faithful.

    Joel Ward has gone off for Palace with Cheikhou Kouyate coming on. The visitors are going for it.

    Nice idea from Christian Benteke, but his little flick on the edge of the box only finds a blue shirt when there were a number of Palace players looking to get up in support.

    It's open at the moment.

    Everton have more quality going forward than Crystal Palace. Although the visitors are going for it, they don't really look that dangerous at the moment.

    Crystal Palace have to go searching now, and that suits Everton as the hosts sit back, find their shape and make it hard for the visitors to break down.

    Roy Hodgson's side are seeing more of the ball but unable to do anything with it.

    Chris Lord: Please give Henderson from Sheffield United a crack with the gloves for England in the friendlies prior to Euro 2020. Pickford always has a howler in him

    Max Ambrose: Surely now people should start to realise that Jordan Pickford is not good enough to be England's number 1! He has so many errors in him.

    Roy Hodgson has never won a game at Goodison Park, and needs his side to come up with something in the final 15 minutes or so here if he's to stop that run...

    Rachel T: Best early kick-off game for a while - at least for the neutral!

    We weren't saying that at half time!

    Tom Davies and Dominic Calvert-Lewin combine but the latter can't escape Scott Dann, good covering from the Crystal Palace defender.

    Chris: How Pickford is England's first choice is beyond me! For every brilliant save he makes there is five mistakes. He's too animated, he does it all for the cameras!

    Maxi Poole: Pickford is too comfortable. No pressure for Everton or England. Feel Carlo will sign a top keeper in the summer.

    Vicky, Kent: Everton won't hold onto the lead. Palace will break through again and deny Everton those three points.

    Statto...

    Seven of Richarlison's nine Premier League goals this season have given Everton the lead in the match. Only Marcus Rashford and Tammy Abraham (eight each) have given their side the lead more.

    Life for Everton fans certainly hasn't been dull since Carlo Ancelotti's arrival, they conceded twice in injury time two games ago to draw with Newcastle, came back from 2-0 down to beat Watford last time out and now this...
