Everton Wins, Friedkin Group Takes Over

Everton secured their first Premier League win of the season by coming from behind to defeat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Goodison Park, thanks to a double from Dwight McNeil. McNeil's performance, which included a stunning 25-yard strike, has been pivotal, showcasing Sean Dyche's inspired decision to move him to a central attacking role. The victory lifts Everton out of the relegation zone and boosts morale amid an impending takeover by American billionaire Dan Friedkin. Crystal Palace, led by Oliver Glasner, failed to respond effectively in the second half and remain winless in the league, accumulating just three points from six matches. Dyche praised his team's mentality and resilience, highlighting the importance of every player making a difference.
