Everton secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday, February 15, 2025. This win elevates Everton to 13th place in the Premier League standings, surpassing both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.
The match commenced with both teams displaying strong defensive strategies. Everton's Beto opened the scoring just before halftime, capitalizing on a defensive lapse to slot the ball past Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson. However, Crystal Palace responded swiftly after the break; Jean-Philippe Mateta equalized in the 47th minute, converting a header following a well-placed cross.
The decisive moment came in the 80th minute when Everton's Carlos Alcaraz fired a low shot into the bottom-right corner, reclaiming the lead for the visitors. Despite late pressure from Crystal Palace, including a notable save by Everton's Jordan Pickford against Mateta, Everton held firm to secure the three points.
This victory adds to Everton's recent positive momentum, following a thrilling 2-2 draw against Liverpool earlier in the week.
