In a dramatic showdown between Crystal Palace and Everton, Ghanaian forward Jordan Ayew unleashed a stunning strike past home goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, seemingly securing three points for Palace until a late header by Andre Onana have the Tofees a point.

Despite Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin missing a key opportunity in the first half, Palace faced staunch defense from Everton's James Tarkowski and Ashley Young, who blocked headers on the line from Chris Richards and Jean-Philippe Mateta before Palace took the lead.

Sam Johnstone's impressive saves initially denied Everton, including Tarkowski's header and a follow-up attempt by Abdoulaye Doucoure.

However, Palace's lead was short-lived as Onana's late heroics salvaged a crucial point for Everton.

The result propelled Everton to 17th place in the Premier League standings, surpassing Luton on goal difference.

Despite facing a 10-point deduction earlier in the season for financial breaches, Everton lodged an appeal, awaiting confirmation of the appeal hearing date.

Jordan Ayew's goal marked his third of the season for Crystal Palace in the English Premier League, accompanied by five assists in 23 matches, showcasing his significant contribution to the Eagles' campaign.
