Everton Ends Crystal Palace 19-Game Unbeaten Run With Grealish Late Winner

Everton secured a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory against Crystal Palace, ending the Eagles' 19-game unbeaten streak, with Jack Grealish scoring a last-gasp, somewhat fortunate winner after a clearance deflected off him into the net. Grealish, on loan from Manchester City, credited manager David Moyes' halftime advice to attack the back post for his positioning and goal, which was his first for Everton and earned him the Player of the Match award. Moyes revealed that Grealish had been nursing minor injuries recently, missing some training, but his performance levels remained strong. The match highlighted Everton's improved second-half display following halftime substitutions, with Carlos Alcaraz and Beto adding physicality. Despite a poor first half and conceding early, Everton's resilience paid off, and the victory lifted them to eighth place in the Premier League. This win was celebrated by Everton fans and players alike, with Grealish expressing gratitude to the supporters for their warm welcome at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
