Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Crystal Palace 2-2 Everton. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Jean-Philippe Mateta 77', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Crystal Palace led Total shots 21-13, even though the scoreboard went another way. Everton also shaded Corners 5-10.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Everton the favourite at 39.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
