    Craig: When are we going to see a referee have the guts to say “thanks for showing me the replay but I’m sticking with my decision”?

    I hate VAR decisions like that. If no players protest, or anyone else inside the stadium, is it really necessary to do a VAR check for a tackle? Kinda indicates that there was no issue with his challenge

    Luke

    I’m generally pro VAR, but that’s the sort of decision and use of it that calls the whole system into question.. Yes, studs are high, but he brushes with zero force. None. He’s practically come to a stop before making contact. If there was even a slight bit of force in it, then absolutely a red due to the height, but there just isn’t.

  2. Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    Everton get it away but they will have to defend again as Palace are coming straight back at them with their extra player advantage.

  3. Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    Tyrick Mitchell's cross is blocked by James Garner. Corner to Palace.

  4. Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    Palace have a free-kick inside Everton's half. It's towards Chris Richards but Jarrad Branthwaite does well to clear it.

  5. 'Almost too good a contact from Harrison'

    Another half chance there for Everton.

    As the ball drops down to Harrison you expect him to get a decent contact on it, which he does, if anything he gets too good a contact and ends up blasting it over the bar.

    There will come a point where players will stop making tackles on the basis that their challenges will be slowed down to the extent that they look way worse than they were in reality

    Ed, London

    Complete neutral, but how is that a red! If that had been against my team (Villa fan) then I would be going absolutely apoplectic! Sean Dyche post match interview will be a great watch...

    Dom, Villa fan

    Footballers should have to wear shinnies that actually offer some protection to the shin.

  7. Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    The referee pauses play again to allow Dwight McNeil to be carried onto the stretcher.

    It means we will have nine minutes added on.

    Everton go straight up the other end but Jack Harrison blasts it miles over the bar. He's frustrated with himself.

    It looks like it could be a bad injury for Dwight McNeil. He's still down receiving treatment off the pitch and the stretcher is being brought out.

  9. SUBSTITUTION

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    Sean Dyche is forced into another change.

    Dwight McNeil, still being treated behind the goal, is in trouble and has to come off. On comes Andre Gomes in his place.

    There's paramedics around him, a stretcher and they have had to cut open his leggings to apply some treatment.

    Best wishes to him and we hope it's nothing too serious.

  10. Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    Bit of concern for Dwight McNeil now. He's receiving treatment and looks in some discomfort.

    Jean-Philippe Mateta is frustrated, thinking Everton are time-wasting, but Seamus Coleman makes it clear his team-mate is in pain.

    Referee Chris Kavanagh has to step in to calm things down.

  11. 'A great chance missed for Everton'

    That is a big, big chance for Everton.

    Beto does well, takes his time on the ball and delivers a cross into the middle of the goal. Garner, about seven, eight yards out and in space with a great chance and he gets underneath the ball. What a chance and what a miss.

  12. CLOSE!

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    What a touch! Eberechi Eze controls a ball over his head beautifully, beating James Tarkowski in the process.

    But the two Everton centre-backs recover to make a good block.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    Jefferson Lerma and Nathaniel Clyne's nights are done.

    Odsonne Édouard and David Ozoh are on in their place.

    Everton should have absolutely no complaints with that. If you're gonna go in that high, the least you should do is win the ball with the same foot actually making the tackle

    Alex, London

    It is very harsh, but that is a studs up challenge. If your foot is a foot off the ground then that's a dangerous tackle. Feel for CL though as he was going for the ball

    Joe, Surrey

  15. Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    Beto has replaced Arnaut Danjuma, with Everton needing a focal point in attack.

    He's immediately involved, almost picking out James Garner in the box but he can't get a clean touch on it.

  16. Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    Well, Everton will feel hard done by but they need to get on with it. There's around 10 minutes to play and a game to be won.

    Palace try to take advantage immediately as Naouirou Ahamada drags a shot wide of the far post.

    I'm a complete neutral - In no way should that be a red card. No endangering a player, as he brushed the shin, or excessive force. Farcical decision.

    Mark, Wales

    Ridiculous decision. Scandalous.

    Tim

    That red is ridiculous. That wasn't reckless, dangerous, at speed, or anything. Red cards for feather light touches? That's enough to make me give up on football.

    Will, not a Toffee

  18. 'That is harsh'

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    Mark Schwarzer
    Former Fulham goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I can understand why the referee has looked and sent him off but I think Calvert-Lewin is very unfortunate there. I think that is harsh.

  19. Dyche can't believe red card decision

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    Alex Howell
    BBC Sport at Selhurst Park

    Sean Dyche can't believe that decision to give Calvert-Lewin a red card. It didn't seem to be a huge tackle and was missed at the time but after a lengthy VAR check the Everton striker is shown a red card.

  20. Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton

    "You're not fit to referee," is the very audible chant from the away fans.

    It is the first red card of Dominic Calvert-Lewin's career.

    His studs were high but that will be tough to take.
