Impressive comeback by Grealish

According to The Sun: Jack Grealish completed an incredible comeback for Everton, showing Thomas Tuchel what his team is capable of.

The player, who transferred to the club for £100 million, broke Crystal Palace's club record for an unbeaten streak that lasted 19 games. However, in this match, they failed to maintain that run.

Powerful victory and Grealish's emotions

Grealish, the leader in assists in the Premier League since his transfer from Manchester City, felt disappointed when Tuchel did not call him up to the England squad. However, the game ended happily for him – he scored the winning goal in the third minute of added time.

The 30-year-old player could not contain his emotions! During the celebration, Crystal Palace fans chanted: “We will win the league!”, unaware that their team was about to lose the lead.

At the moment of their optimism, Crystal Palace was leading due to a precise strike from Daniel Muñoz, but unfortunate circumstances and poor execution led to the loss of their advantage.

Everything changed when Iliman Ndiaye scored from a penalty with 14 minutes remaining, and Grealish managed to tap in after Beto's shot.

Thus, the promise of Crystal Palace fans remained unfulfilled, though they certainly enjoyed the match while their team controlled the game on the field.

Moyes' response and Palace's exploits

After a promising start to the season and with new players on the team, Moyes' team lost confidence. Among the newcomers was Tyler Dibling, for whom £36 million was paid, but his Premier League debut ended before halftime.

Crystal Palace tried to press the opponent, ramping up attacks, but Everton managed to hold on. However, by the 37th minute, they conceded the first goal.

Despite the long pressure from the opponent, Everton managed to turn the game around. When Ndiaye scored from the penalty spot, it significantly changed the situation, and Grealish, becoming the hero of the match, scored the winning goal in the dying moments.

Despite numerous attempts from Crystal Palace, the team failed to hold the lead, and Everton managed to secure an important victory. This highlights just how unpredictable matches in the Premier League can be, where every moment can prove decisive. It also demonstrates that even after poor starts, teams can recover and fight for victory until the final minute.
