Everton vs Crystal Palace LIVE!

It is (soon to be) a new dawn at Crystal Palace after their draw with Everton tonight, following the exit of Roy Hodgson. The 76-year-old manager officially departed this afternoon, as expected following a bad run of results, while having also been taken to hospital after being taken ill during Thursday’s training session.

The Eagles then appointed Oliver Glasner as their new man in charge before taking on the Toffees on Merseyside. He watched on as assistant coaches Paddy McCarthy and Ray Lewington stepped into the dugout.

Jordan Ayew’s stunning second-half strike had the Eagles on course for a huge three points but Everton snatched a late point via Amadou Onana’s header, which edges them out of the bottom three.

Everton vs Crystal Palace highlights

• GOAL! Ayew screamer breaks the deadlock

• GOAL! Onana heads late Everton leveller

Signs of hope for Palace despite late leveller as new boss Glasner watches on

22:15 , Marc Mayo

In fits and starts, Crystal Palace will largely have impressed newly appointed manager Oliver Glasner, as he watched on from the Goodison Park directors’ box.

On the day it was announced Roy Hodgson had stepped down as manager and that Glasner will replace him, Palace were good value for this hard-fought 1-1 draw with relegation rivals Everton.

Crystal Palace player ratings

22:07 , Marc Mayo

Adam Wharton 8

Palace’s best player by a country mile. Looked calm and composed on the ball and was eager to win it back for his team. Already looks an astute signing.

What next for Crystal Palace?

Oliver Glasner will take charge of his first training sessions this week before a crucial home game against Burnley on Saturday.

Everton, now out of the bottom three ahead of Luton’s match with Liverpool in midweek, next face Brighton.

Jordan Ayew with no rush to attack as he hoards the ball by Everton’s corner flag.

Jack Harrison fouled by Jefferson Lerma, which brings out a yellow card for the Colombian.

Jordan Pickford strolls up to pump it goalwards from the opposition half but it’s cleared and Palace win a throw.

Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace | 90+3 mins

21:51 , Marc Mayo

Sam Johnstone beckoning his players forward before lumping the ball upfield.

The game has become a little stretched and is dying out as a result, Palace clearly happy with a point.

Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace | 90 mins

21:48 , Marc Mayo

It’s all Everton as the board goes up for six minutes, and a mighty roar for that announcement too after Beto nods wide.

Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace | 88 mins

21:45 , Marc Mayo

Half a chance at the back stick as Dwight McNeil’s floated free-kick is nodded over by James Tarkowski.

Change coming for the visitors, David Ozoh on for Adam Wharton.

Highlights: Watch Amadou Onana's goal

21:45 , Marc Mayo

It just had to come from a corner!

Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace | 86 mins

21:44 , Marc Mayo

No surprise the home fans are now right on their feet, cranking the volume up in search of a winner.

Plenty of time for someone to grab the next goal...

Dom Smith at Goodison Park

21:43 , Marc Mayo

Palace will have to push one more after that equaliser.

What a stunning leap from Onana by the way. Deserved a goal and got one for Everton.

GGGGOOOOAAALLLL!!! Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace | Onana, 84'

21:42 , Marc Mayo

THE TOFFEES ARE LEVEL!

James Garner is fed by a decent knockdown by Dominic Calvert-Lewin but his effort is too close to Sam Johnstone, who palms away.

In comes the corner...

Amadou Onana heads home at the back post!

Everton 0-1 Crystal Palace | 83 mins

21:41 , Marc Mayo

A slow trickle of home fans are already making their way to the exits as Oliver Glasner throws out some thoughts to Dougie Freedman in the directors’ box.

More frustrated groans from the Everton faithful as Beto turns back to his own half after beating a man in the middle third.

Everton 0-1 Crystal Palace | 80 mins

21:38 , Marc Mayo

CHANCE!

Dwight McNeil picks out Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who just fails to fend off his marker and nods tamely wide at the near post.

Everton 0-1 Crystal Palace | 79 mins

21:37 , Marc Mayo

Lovely knockdown by Dominic Calvert-Lewin towards the penalty spot but it’s a Palace defender first to it.

The Toffees are working their way upfield and still look a little ragged, but Palace are setting up camp for a long ten-plus minutes ahead.

Everton 0-1 Crystal Palace | 77 mins

21:35 , Marc Mayo

The visitors are doing a good job of stifling any momentum generated by Everton.

Winning a corner upfield, Joachim Andersen initially does well to keep it alive but eventually concedes a throw.

Everton 0-1 Crystal Palace | 72 mins

21:30 , Marc Mayo

Beto on for Abdoulaye Doucoure as Everton introduce some extra firepower in the box.

Also a change from Crystal Palace, who swap Odsonne Edouard out for Naouirou Ahamada.

Highlights: Watch Jordan Ayew's goal

21:28 , Marc Mayo

Take a bow.

Dom Smith at Goodison Park

21:27 , Marc Mayo

Stunning goal by Jordan Ayew, a player who has so often turned up for Palace when they need him in recent years. Excellent hold-up play by Edouard and Mateta.

Everton 0-1 Crystal Palace | 68 mins

21:27 , Marc Mayo

The away end is all you can hear around Goodison Park now.

The home fans are stunned by that super strike from Jordan Ayew, whose goal defined the phrase “if you didn’t buy a ticket, you don’t win the prize”.

Everton on the front foot looking to respond now but it’s scrappy.

GGGGOOOOAAALLLL!!! Everton 0-1 Crystal Palace | Ayew, 66'

21:24 , Marc Mayo

WHAT A HIT!

Jordan Ayew scores from distance with an absolute peach!

Where did that come from!?

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 66 mins

21:23 , Marc Mayo

Jack Harrison and Amadou Onana on for Idrissa Gueye and Ashley Young. Lots of energy injected into the game by Sean Dyche.

Dom Smith at Goodison Park

21:22 , Marc Mayo

Huge reprieve for Palace, who are indebted to Johnstone there. Magnificent goalkeeping.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 64 mins

21:22 , Marc Mayo

CHANCE!

Somehow Everton don’t score, James Tarkowski seeing a powerful close-range header palmed away before the return is scrambled clear at the far post.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 58 mins

21:16 , Marc Mayo

A Palace corner is sent skywards by Joachim Andersen... and is pummeled over the bar by Odsonne Edouard’s overhead kick.

From only a few yards out, that would have been unstoppable - had it been on target!

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 56 mins

21:14 , Marc Mayo

CHANCE!

Tyrick Mitchell is played into the box down the left channel but is immediately faced down by Jordan Pickford rushing out, and the goalkeeper sees his save into touch personally.

Dom Smith at Goodison Park

21:13 , Marc Mayo

The second half has started very similarly to the opening period of the first — slow, stop-start, and without either side finding even a semblance of rhythm.

It’s pinball down there!

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 55 mins

21:13 , Marc Mayo

James Garner takes aim from the edge of the box... over and wide.

Encouraging applause from Everton as a result of some nifty play by the touchline.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 51 mins

21:09 , Marc Mayo

Cries from the away end as Jean-Philippe Mateta hits the deck in the box. It appears he tried to spin on the ball and simply lost his footing.

Either way, it was just outside the box. Probably not a foul too, for what it’s worth.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 47 mins

21:05 , Marc Mayo

Tyrick Mitchell gets the wrong side of Ashley Young to win an early free-kick on the visitors’ left flank.

But the foul goes to Everton as soon as the delivery comes in.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | Kick-off!

21:03

Back underway on Merseyside.

Everton not their sharpest

20:59

Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s sheer lack of form has been evident in the first half, with a solid chance from a lovely Dwight McNeil pass met well by the towering striker but thumped over the bar off his head.

There has been some sturdy defending and occasionally intricate build-up play, but little in the way of central presence in the box for the Toffees.

Plenty for Oliver Glasner to chew over

20:54 , Marc Mayo

The incoming Crystal Palace manager has had his chin perched on his thumb for much of that 45 minutes.

The Eagles had to hold on during a spurt of delicious crosses into their box early in that half but they’ve disrupted the home fans in the latter stages.

It’s just a case of who finds the end product first, to find that breakthrough.

Dom Smith at Goodison Park

20:48 , Marc Mayo

What started as a rather bitty half of football has ended very positively for Palace.

Granted, they have not found a lead here at Goodison, but their football has been adventurous, and they have suited the 3-4-3 system they are playing. It bodes well for incoming boss Glasner.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | Half-time!

20:46 , Marc Mayo

It’s goalless at Goodison Park as neither Everton nor Crystal Palace find the end product required to break open this deadlock.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 45 mins

20:46 , Marc Mayo

One added minute.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 43 mins

20:44 , Marc Mayo

Lovely work from Jordan Ayew to wriggle free down the right but his cross is weak.

Back come Everton, but not quick enough to stop Palace from forming into their defensive shape.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin flicks a header goalwards from near enough the 18-yard line - and it’s no problem for the goalkeeper.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 40 mins

20:41 , Marc Mayo

A lot of tetchiness from the home fans now! Crystal Palace are winning a lot of the 50/50s and the ball nearly breaks for Odsonne Edouard to trouble the keeper and soon after Jordan Ayew causes issues from a dropping ball.

A good end to the half from the Eagles.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 38 mins

20:39 , Marc Mayo

CHANCE!

A bit of tetchiness emerging from the home fans after Adam Wharton’s nudge on Dwight McNeil is ruled legal before Odsonne Edouard wins a corner that they wanted as a goal kick.

Chris Richards soon sees a header deflected away and the resultant corner leads to Ashley Young hacking Jean-Philippe Mateta’s header off the line!

Dom Smith at Goodison Park

20:36 , Marc Mayo

Really encouraging from Palace, who would have scored an outrageous team goal there, stemming from Edouard’s silky nutmeg, only for Lerma to blaze over. Shame!

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 35 mins

20:35 , Marc Mayo

CHANCE!

Right place, wrong man for Crystal Palace. They burst into a slick passing move and Daniel Munoz tees up Jefferson Lerma to shoot over from the penalty spot.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 32 mins

20:32 , Marc Mayo

A pair of solid headers from James Tarkowski repel Crystal Palace’s response in attack, the first cross from Joachim Andersen was a peach too.

Not the most sophisticated game, this. But it really would be a massive result should it fall either team’s way.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 29 mins

20:29 , Marc Mayo

The Toffees are starting to pepper the Palace box with crosses and another sweet delivery, this time by Vitaliy Mykolenko, is flicked on by Ashley Young.

That serves to take the ball away from the onrushing Ben Godfrey and the visitors escape again!

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 26 mins

20:27 , Marc Mayo

Jefferson Lerma wipes out Dominic Calvert-Lewin as the striker turns into the box! Clear free-kick, in a dangerous position...

A little to the right of the D as James Garner and Dwight McNeil look at it, it’s Garner on the out-swinger.

Well over the bar!

Dom Smith at Goodison Park

20:24 , Marc Mayo

Palace’s newly announced manager Oliver Glasner is here at Goodison Park, sitting between Mark Bright and Steve Parish with Dougie Freedman also alongside.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 23 mins

20:23 , Marc Mayo

Swift move upfield from Everton leads to a fine cross from Dwight McNeil right on the head of Dominic Calvert-Lewin... but he thumps a header off target!

An in-form DCL buries that, surely. No goals since October now.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 20 mins

20:21 , Marc Mayo

The Toffees are enjoying themselves a bit more on the ball now, with another loft towards Dwight McNeil well headed back to Sam Johnstone by Joachim Andersen.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 16 mins

20:16 , Marc Mayo

Dwight McNeil darts into the box from a long Jordan Pickford lob in behind. Palace scramble it away only as far as Abdoulaye Doucoure, who snatches a volley wide.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 13 mins

20:13 , Marc Mayo

First shot on target comes courtesy of Odsonne Edouard, who collects a fizzed Jean-Philippe Mateta pass and fires straight at the keeper with defenders backing off.

A decent start for the Eagles.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 12 mins

20:12 , Marc Mayo

Bad challenge from Dwight McNeil as Daniel Munoz releases the ball, but its play on. Perhaps because he played a loose pass in doing so.

Replays show it wasn’t a great tackle at all, studs up on the Palace defender’s ankle. Surely a yellow, VAR agrees it’s no red... but not even a foul according to Paul Tierney.

Dom Smith at Goodison Park

20:09 , Marc Mayo

Predictably scrappy start to this match, but young Adam Wharton has started well for Palace. The 20-year-old January recruit has been composed on the ball and found some really nice passes.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 5 mins

20:05 , Marc Mayo

Important stretch from James Tarkowski to divert a cross into his box behind.

Palace load up for a corner but the first cross is headed out, and the recycled ball in is Jordan Pickford’s.

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace | 2 mins

20:03 , Marc Mayo

Jean-Philippe Mateta is the central striker for Crystal Palace with a 3-4-3/5-2-3 formation from the visitors.

Chris Richards is in defence and the front three look pretty fluid in their positioning.

Everton vs Crystal Palace | Kick-off!

20:01 , Marc Mayo

Sean Dyche and Ray Lewington share a joke on the touchline which has the Everton boss in stitches.

Up in the stands is Oliver Glasner, who will take charge of the Eagles tomorrow.

Tonight, though, it’s Everton vs Crystal Palace... and we’re off!

Here come the players!

19:56 , Marc Mayo

Joel Ward and James Tarkowski lead out the two teams behind referee Paul Tierney in front of a packed Goodison Park.

Crystal Palace fans show support for Roy Hodgson

19:55 , Marc Mayo

A couple of banners to say thanks for Roy Hodgson in the away end this evening.

Joel Ward speaks out

19:44

Interesting hearing that from Paddy McCarthy earlier, with Crystal Palace captain Joel Ward also saying to Sky Sports earlier that he wants to give Roy Hodgson "a good send-off".

"When there's a lot of noise outside, it can draw people's eyes and ears elsewhere, now we have that clarity and can hopefully hit the ground running," he says of incoming manager Oliver Glasner.

Crystal Palace's Paddy McCarthy speaks to Sky Sports

19:40

“[Roy Hodgson]’s a lifelong Palace fan, wore his heart on his sleeve and came to work with enthusiasm everyday. Obviously he’s disappointed he couldn’t see out the season but it was a privilege to work with him.

“We’re delighted he’s on the mend and in good health, we’re hoping to give him a good send-off.

“I haven’t met the new manager, he obviously has great pedigree in Europe, but my priority has been preparing for tonight’s performance.”

Who is Oliver Glasner?

19:34

“Just as exciting for Palace is Glasner's record of improving players. He got the goalscoring best out of former Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst at Wolfsburg. And at Frankfurt, he turned the promising yet inconsistent Randal Kolo Muani into a World Cup runner-up with France.”

Before the game, get the lowdown on new Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner.

Everton vs Crystal Palace | Countdown to kick-off

19:29 , Marc Mayo

Just 30 minutes until this Monday night clash gets underway.

The warm-ups are starting out on the pitch so why not hear from Dom Smith, our man in the press box, to preview the game.

Crystal Palace to appoint QPR man as head of sports medicine

19:23 , Marc Mayo

It’s not just Oliver Glasner set for his first day at Selhurst Park...

Crystal Palace are set to hire Dr Imtiaz Ahmad as their new head of sports medicine.

The Eagles have been searching for a candidate to fill the role after it was revealed last month that Dr Zaf Iqbal will be joining Arsenal this summer.

Ahmad, who has been with QPR since 2016, is now set to move to Palace as Iqbal’s replacement.

Sean Dyche on Roy Hodgson and tonight's game

19:18 , Marc Mayo

“Roy, firstly he’s well, but a great football fella without a doubt. And he’s done a great job at many years over many different clubs.

“The stats show well on us, a lot of good things playing some tough sides.

“A long way to go but we’ve created a mentality and style that suits the players and, when we do it wisely, we’re very competitive.”

One change for Everton

19:12 , Marc Mayo

The Toffees recall Abdoulaye Doucoure from injury to take Jack Harrison’s place in the line-up.

That’s the only change from the defeat to Manchester City.

Dom Smith at Goodison Park

19:06 , Marc Mayo

Interesting to see caretaker co-managers have selected Sam Johnstone over Dean Henderson in goal for Crystal Palace today.

Unclear whether Chris Richards is playing in a back-five or in midfield in a continuation of the 4-2-3-1 system they have used this season.

Odsonne Edouard comes into the team to support fellow striker Jean-Philippe Mateta but may well play out wide with Mateta the lone striker.

January signings Daniel Munoz and Adam Wharton remain in the team from the side that lost 3-1 to Chelsea a week ago today. Both have made decent starts to their Palace career, but in an admittedly struggling team.

Everton team news is in!

19:04 , Marc Mayo

Everton XI: Pickford; Godfrey, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner, Doucoure; Young, Calvert-Lewin, McNeil

Subs: Virginia, Lonergan, Patterson, Keane, Onana, Harrison, Chermiti, Dobbin, Beto

18:50 , Marc Mayo

We are closing in on the release of the line-ups at Goodison Park.

Kick-off in an hour and ten minutes’ time!

Score prediction

18:43

It is difficult to be particularly confident about either of these teams at the moment, with both very much out of form.

At Goodison, these are the type of matches that Everton have won in recent seasons, helping them to stay up, and they may well just about secure a crucial three points.

Everton to win, 2-1.

Our prediction for the Eagles XI

18:37

Predicted Crystal Palace XI: Henderson; Ward, Andersen, Richards, Mitchell; Lerma, Wharton, Schlupp; Ayew, Edouard, Franca

Early Crystal Palace team news

18:32

There is little in the way of positive team news for Palace, who are still without Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze. The pair are both on the sidelines with hamstring injuries.

Marc Guehi is out with a knee problem, meaning Chris Richards should start again, while Adam Wharton and Matheus Franca will hope to keep their places in the side.

Cheick Doucoure, Rob Holding and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi are also out, while Will Hughes faces a late fitness test.

Our prediction for the Toffees line-up

18:27

Predicted Everton XI: Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Onana; Harrison, Garner, McNeil; Calvert-Lewin

Early Everton team news

18:22

Right, onto tonight’s game. Abdoulaye Doucoure is nearing a return for Everton from a hamstring issue and could be involved tonight.

Amadou Onana and Seamus Coleman are both available again, but Arnaut Danjuma (ankle) is out and the game will likely come too soon for FA Cup match-winner Andre Gomes (calf).

Ben Godfrey has recovered from illness, but Dele Alli remains sidelined.

Steve Parish pays tribute to Roy Hodgson

18:16

“Roy has a special place in Crystal Palace history and this will never be forgotten. After four years in which he led the club to maintaining Premier League status season after season, he once again joined us nearly a year ago to steady the ship, and worked wonders.

“That he then agreed to continue in the summer speaks volumes about his commitment to our club. Quite simply, we owe our continued Premier League status to Roy.

“I would like to thank Roy enormously for his service and wish him the very best for the future; it’s fair to say Roy has the keys to Selhurst Park and will always be welcomed back.

“On a personal note I would also like to thank Roy for his support, his professionalism and his friendship. He’s been the manager for half of the time we’ve been in the Premier League, I’ve enjoyed working with him and learning from him immensely.

Full Roy Hodgson statement on his exit

18:10

“This club is very special and means so much to me and has played a big part in my footballing life. I have fully enjoyed my time here across six seasons, as it has given me the chance to work with top class players and staff doing what I love every day.

“However, I understand, given recent circumstances, it may be prudent at this time for the club to plan ahead, and therefore I have taken the decision to step aside so that the club can bring forward their plans for a new manager, as intended for this summer.

“I would like to thank Steve Parish and his American partners for their support, along with my coaching staff and backroom team who have helped me so much along the way. In particular, a huge thank you to my long-term friend and assistant, Ray Lewington; coaches Dean Kiely and Paddy McCarthy; plus the excellent sports science, video analysis and medical departments.

“My thanks and respect also to the current squad of players who have been a pleasure to work with - they are a credit to the club and themselves. I am certain that our fans will continue to give their full support to the team for the remainder of this season and beyond.

“I am confident that the season will finish well and I wish the team every success in the weeks, months and seasons to come.”

Roy Hodgson departure confirmed

18:03

Roy Hodgson’s exit was confirmed this afternoon, with the veteran boss “stepping down”.

The 76-year-old’s job has come under increasing pressure in recent weeks, with the Eagles on a run of three wins in 19 matches across all competitions. Palace sit just five points outside the relegation zone.

Hodgson was hospitalised after being taken ill during a training session last week, though has since been released and is recovering well.

Statement from chairman Steve Parish

17:57 , Marc Mayo

“I’m delighted to welcome Oliver to the club. He has an outstanding record, and we believe he is the right manager to take the club forward at this pivotal stage.

“Wherever Oliver has gone so far in his managerial journey, success has been quick to follow, and we believe his ambition, as well as his exciting and attacking approach, is the perfect fit for getting the most from our talented young squad in the remainder of this Premier League season and beyond.”

New Crystal Palace backroom staff

17:50

No word yet on who Oliver Glasner will bring with him to the Selhurst Park backroom.

The club say all will be “confirmed in due course”.

Michael Angerschmid, a longtime assistant and ally from SV Ried, LASK, Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt is a very plausible appointment.

Michael Berktold has worked with Glasner previously as fitness coach but didn’t join him at Eintracht, and he is currently on RB Salszburg’s books. Likewise Thomas Sageder, who is now LASK manager after previous spells as part of the new Eagles boss’ staff.

Ronald Brunmayr was one of his assistants at Eintracht and is also out of work having left Frankfurt last summer too.

Of course, Paddy McCarthy is one Palace stalwart whose future will also be up for discussion, you would expect.

Oliver Glasner's message after appointment

17:45 , Marc Mayo

“I am very happy to join Crystal Palace F.C. as manager.

“I am looking forward to working with the talented squad, meeting the club’s supporters and experiencing the Selhurst Park atmosphere I have heard so much about.

“It has been a pleasure to meet with Steve and Dougie, and I am looking forward to working with them to achieve our goals.”

Crystal Palace hire Oliver Glasner as new manager

17:39 , Marc Mayo

Former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner has been appointed the new manager of Crystal Palace.

The Eagles confirmed the departure of Roy Hodgson ahead of tonight’s game with Everton, following a poor run of results.

Glasner has signed a deal at Selhurst Park until the end of the 2025-26 season.
