Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace: Benteke earns Eagles point on Merseyside

Christian Benteke scored a glorious header to earn Crystal Palace a point against Everton at Goodison Park.

Romelu Lukaku put the hosts in front with a lovely free-kick, but moments into the second half, Beneke headed home to level - with no one else managing to hit the back of the net in what was a frenetic game.

Everton dominated the opening stages, and Lukaku came closest to opening the scoring inside the first 10 minutes – but he failed to divert Bolasie’s cross into the back of the net.

Zaha, lively on the flank, won a foul which led to Palace’s first real chance.
