Follow live reaction as Everton came from two goals down at half-time to beat Crystal Palace and secure their Premier League safety at a raucous Goodison Park.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 85th minute winner rescued Frank Lampard’s side and sparked a pitch invasion from the home supporters, after goals from Michael Keane and Richarlison pulled them level.

At half-time, and with Burnley leading Aston Villa, Everton were facing the possibility of needing to go to Arsenal on the final day of the season and getting a result.

Despite making a positive start in what was a noisy atmosphere at Goodison Park, the visitors took the lead when Jean-Philippe Mateta was allowed space to score a free header from Eberechi Eze’s free-kick.

It went from bad to worse for Everton as Jordan Ayew, who was fortunate to escape a red card for a high challenge on Anthony Gordon, punished a series of defensive mistakes to double Palace’s lead.

Michael Keane got one back after half-time to spark the comeback, and Richarlison equalised with 15 minutes of normal time remaining with a scrambled finish. But Calvert-Lewin’s header was greeted by wild scenes - which continued at full-time as the Toffees celebrated staying in the Premier League.

Everton 0-2 Crystal Palace

54 mins: Alli has looked frustrated since coming on. He looks a yard or two off the pace - which is understandable given the lack of football he has had.

Schlupp knocks the ball down the line and is body checked by the former Tottenham man.

Everton do win it back after the free-kick but Doucoure then plays a square pass straight to a Palace shirt.

More groans from the Goodison faithful.

Everton 0-2 Crystal Palace

51 mins: There’s the warning from Palace though.

Zaha slides a lovely ball into the area for Schlupp. He pulls it back for Ayew and Holgate is across well to thump it behind for a corner. The subsequent corner is cleared at the front post, but Palace remain a real threat when they come forward.

And that’s wonderful play from Eze! He dribbles past one, two, three Everton players and goes down in the area but Anthony Taylor is unmoved.

He was so, so close to pulling the trigger there. Think he lost his footing more than anything. Would have been a worldie.

49 mins: Good start to the second half from Everton!

Iwobi plays an incisive pass into Gordon. He dummies it for Coleman who fizzes a low cross into the middle but it misses all the Everton attackers in the middle.

Definitely more urgency to the hosts’ play already. But can they make it count?
