Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace
**Goals**: Muñoz (CP) 37', Ndiaye penalty (E) 76', Grealish 90'+3 (E)
There was no bio update for Crystal Palace this time as the in-form Eagles' 19-game unbeaten run across all competitions came to a crashing halt.
When Jack Grealish gloriously intercepted Daniel Muñoz's desperate clearance in the 93rd minute the comeback was complete and the roof came off at the _Hill Dickinson._
The fans' moaning and groaning suddenly turned into exhilaration.
And few saw it coming given what the south Londoner produced.
Oliver Glasner's effervescent side were really at it from the word go and by large the dominant force.
They should have been a few goals clear long before Iliman Ndiaye's 76th minute penalty erased Muñoz's first-half opener.
But new France international Jean-Philippe Mateta missing back-to-back chances in the second period ended up costing the south Londoners and rewarding the Toffees.
Early in the game, Pickford did well to thwart nearly-Liverpool FC defender Marc Guehi with a Manuel Neuer-esque save with his outstretched arm.
But Palace kept knocking on the door and eventually found their breakthrough when Colombian right-back Muñoz's cleanly finished after being slipped in by Ismaila Sarr in the 37th minute.
But they failed to put the game to bed as Tyrick Mitchell first hit the outside of the post before Mateta and Yeremy Pino were both denied by the outstanding Jordan Pickford on his 300th Premier League appearance for the Liverpudlians.
Through on goal after the reatart, _JPP_ had the chance to kill it off but his chipped finish was cleared off the line by Jake O'Brien.
And _JPP_ also rolled one wide with two thirds of the goal gaping minutes later after a promising Palace break.
Something must have clicked in the bodies and minds of the Everton players at that moment as they started to roll the dice and go for the jugular.
Henderson pulled off the mother of all saves when he tipped over Alcaraz's thunderous shot.
But Palace were tiring fast and understandably so as they had an Europa Conference League clash with Dynamo Kiev in Poland to negotiate just three days before.
Maxence Lacroix resorted to a challenge to stop Iroegbunam in the box, leaving the referee with no choice but to give a penalty which history maker Ndiaye, who scored the last-ever goal at Goodison and the first here back in August, converted.
Everton were revitalised by the levellwr and threw the kitchen sink at it. A draw was no longer enough given the momentum and the shift in energy.
And Grealish was at the right place at the right time to deny the Palace social media admin a fresh X bio update.
