Everton dominated the game early on. With a minute gonefound himself alone in front of goal but snatched his shot wide. Richarlison, who chose to play here rather than return home after the death of his grandmother, ballooned the ball over the bar from a decent position. For a whiledid Anthony Gordon things, sniping into space and passing accurately, a footballer with a precious kind of optimism about his game.
Then on 25 minutes Olise produced a lovely, shark-like burst down the right to win a corner. His first kick, viciously whipped in, was palmed over by Pickford. The second on the same angle but better placed was flicked into the net by the head of Marc Guéhi. This was a finish of real skill, not just reading the line of the ball but directing it with perfect timing though a crowd of players.
For a while Everton were limited to scrappy, off the cuff breakaway attacks, Gomes and Abdoulaye Doucouré unable to find any kind of rhythm in midfield as Palace pressed with energy and the game became a little messy.
