Premier League The Observer Everton fan discord mars easy win against Crystal Palace Oumar Niasse celebrates scoring Everton’s second goal against Crystal Palace with Idrissa Gueye. Crystal Palace were soundly beaten for the third time in 16 league games and stand two points clear of the relegation zone but showed a unity that is conspicuous by its absence at Everton. A long clearance by Jordan Pickford was headed skywards by James Tomkins and Niasse turned the second ball onto Sigurdsson.

Luka Milivojevic denied Pickford the clean sheet his performance merited from the penalty spot after Ashley Williams handled late on but Everton’s victory will be remembered for another reason.
