Coach Carlo Ancelotti continues to use the framework that can be considered the optimum for Everton at the moment with three recruits James Rodríguez, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Allan starting from the beginning. Forward duo Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison remain the names leading the charge.
He must be a guest, but Everton played very confidently and proactively dominated the opponent from the start of the match. The results came to the visitors after just 10 minutes of the ball rolling. James Rodriguez made a mark with a subtle cut for Seamus Coleman to enter the penalty area. The Toffees captain then passed as if to let Calvert-Lewin finish close to the goal, scoring his fifth Premier League goal this season.
After an early defeat, Crystal Palace struck a stalemate against Everton’s well-organized defense. The home team has almost no chance of catching up with Jordan Pickford. However, in the 26th minute, they suddenly tied. From the Andros Townsend corner, Cheikhou Kouyate jumped all high to bring the match to the starting line.

In the 30th minute, the VAR denied Everton a penalty when the team’s visitors complained that Joel Ward used his hand to block the ball in the penalty area. But just 7 minutes later, it was the defender in Crystal Palace’s No. 2 jersey to touch the ball. This time, the VAR is no longer on the local team’s side. Penalty and Richarlison were not wrong in restoring the lead for The Toffees. 2-1 in favor of the visitors is also the final result of the first half.
Going into the second half, Everton is still the team that owns the playing position when Crystal Palace is very stagnant when there is a ball. In the 51st minute, Calvert-Lewin had a great opportunity to widen the gap when he wasn’t stuck in James’ corner. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old forward was sent off.
For most of the second half, Everton actively slowed down to wait for the opportunity to fight back. Crystal Palace therefore also has more balls. But the quality of the attacks by the local Selhurst Park team was not high when the “trigger” was Wilfried Zaha, who had a day of competition without power.

The longer the match went on in the closing minutes, the more Crystal Palace was stuck against an extremely disciplined and tight Everton from experienced coach Ancelotti. Therefore, The Toffees hold the score 2-1 until referee Kevin Friend blows the final whistle.
In the end, Everton edged their opponents 2-1, continued to extend the win into the new season and temporarily rose to the top of the Premier League table. This is a match where James, despite not scoring or directly assisting, continues to play outstandingly with high-level passing, while Calvert-Lewin has a third straight game to score in the Premier League.
