PREM: Everton 2-0 Crystal Palace
Cenk Tosun celebrates his goal
Marco Silva's substitutions made the difference for Everton as they struck late in a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, who had a penalty saved by Jordan Pickford
Pickford triggered memories of England's World Cup adventure as he saved Luka Milivojevic's penalty (60), before Dominic Calvert-Lewin (87) and Cenk Tosun (89) sprung from the bench to grab the hosts a dramatic three points.
Palace's aggressive and organised performance stifled Everton's attacking foursome of Theo Walcott, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Bernard and Richarlison but the introduction of Calvert-Lewin, Tosun and Ademola Lookman turned the game.
Wilfried Zaha has scored or assisted 80 per cent of Crystal Palace's Premier League goals this season - and he shifted to play in the lone striker role which gave the visitors a good platform to play off.
Everton struggled to find space against the well-drilled Palace backline, taking 27 minutes to test Wayne Hennessey when Sigurdsson's near post effort was pushed clear.
The best chance of the first-half fell to Cheikhou Kouyate but he flicked his header from close range off the underside of the crossbar.
Palace were growing in confidence and were handed a golden opportunity to take the lead when Seamus Coleman tripped Zaha just inside the area on the hour mark.
Milivojevic has scored nine of his 10 penalties for Palace but squandered this one as his effort down the middle of the goal was blocked by Pickford's leg after he dived to his left.
The save should've sparked a response from Everton but Palace kept their heads and defended their box with great strength with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Mamadou Sakho particularly impressive.
Everton needed fresh blood and Silva sent on Tosun, Lookman and Calvert-Lewin. In truth, a winning goal didn't look likely until Sakho switched off from a Lookman cross and Calvert-Lewin guided a header home with three minutes left.
Palace then pushed up higher in search of a leveller but got caught by a long ball over the top which was gathered by Tosun and he powered a low finish past Hennessey.
