Are we really going to be checking all of these situations? Joel Ward is in a natural position for being able to move his body. We are taking a lot of time to review this kind of footage. It is tiresome. I can't bear it.

Has to be a penalty, IMO.

VAR is unsure...

Referee Kevin Friend is coming to have a look on the pitchside monitor.

Crystal Palace 1-1 Everton

VAR is having a look.

This might be given you know.

The ball is away from his body,,

Everton want another penalty as the ball strikes Joel Ward's arm again, this time from Lucas Digne's knockdown.

Is DCL a thing yet or are we sticking with his full name?

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is awkward in the air. He has such a great leap, with brilliant hang-time. Athleticism-wise you are going to have to try to compete with him as best you can.

Mr Goodey: If Calvert-Lewin played for any of the big 6, pundits and commentators would be hyping him up, talking about him more and saying how he's England's next superstar. I'm a Leicester fan so know how it feels re, Barnes, Choudhury, Maddison.

I think Joel Ward was trying to hide his arm more than anything. He was trying to drag his arm behind his body.

Joel Ward's arm was by his side, but the ball did hit him there.

"Seen those given".

Roy Hodgson will be delighted his Crystal Palace team have got back to 1-1, with Everton having looked so good.

VAR looking at it, he is taking his time but no penalty on this occasion.

Makes a change.

Now then.

Palace want a penalty as Richarlison's cross hits Joel Ward's arm.

Another corner for Palace, this time put in my Eberi Eze but Michael Keane judges it better this time.

It sets up a counter, James Rodriguez with a fantastic ball through to Richarlison who is snuffed out.

That's a very weak goal to concede from an Everton point of view. Everton's set-up from the corner was horrible, in terms of competing for the ball. It wasn't super fast movement that has done them. This is the problem with zonal marking, allowing a free header inside the six-yard box, which shouldn't happen at this level.

Poor defending from Michael Keane for that goal, getting caught under the ball and allowing it to sail over his head.

The main thing that impresses me about Everton is that they have real physicality in their play - especially in attacking areas.

You look at Richarlison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Abdoulaye Doucoure - to have those three players bursting at you with pace all the time.

With their aerial ability as well, it makes them a real threat - both physically and technically.

Wilfried Zaha has his head in his hands after receiving a booking from referee Kevin Friend.

It's for an off-the-ball incident with Yerry Mina, but it is just a coming together between two players.

A very harsh booking that.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the first player to score in each of Everton’s first three league games in a single campaign since Steven Naismith in 2014-15.
