Erling Haaland and Harry Maguire love Jack Grealish in new messages after Everton scenes
Jack Grealish was at the centre of yet another iconic Hill Dickinson Stadium moment for Everton on Sunday afternoon.
Everton beat Crystal Palace 2-1, completing the turnaround with the winger’s 93rd-minute goal that sent the home fans into raptures.
Daniel Munoz had opened the scoring in the first half for the visitors, but Iliman Ndiaye‘s second-half penalty provided hope for the Toffees.
James Garner impressed again against Crystal Palace, with the midfielder notching two key passes in the build-up to the late winner.
And despite receiving huge criticism recently, Beto made a huge impact off the bench for Everton against Crystal Palace.
Erling Haaland and Harry Maguire send messages to Jack Grealish
Grealish was snubbed for Thomas Tuchel’s England squad on Friday, but the winger did not let the disappointment affect his performance on Sunday.
The 30-year-old did not stop trying to breach the Crystal Palace back-line, and was eventually rewarded with a slice of luck.

Beto had directed Ndiaye’s cross well directly at Dean Henderson, but Grealish was on hand to close down and block Munoz’s clearance into the back of the net.
The England international took to social media following the game to share a hilarious message.
Grealish wrote: “Nah, what a one-touch finish that was, man. Unbelievable day that was for you, the Toffees.”
He continued: “What a group of lads, well done, my brothers.”
The winger’s former teammate, Erling Haaland, responded by calling the winger “the bagsman,” whilst international teammate Harry Maguire left emojis including clapping hands.

Grealish lifts Everton from barren run
It was a disappointing September for Everton. The Toffees failed to win any of their four games, drawing against Aston Villa and West Ham, whilst losing to Liverpool and Wolves.
But Grealish never wavered, and the winger was rewarded for his efforts on Sunday by handing David Moyes‘ side their first win since the end of August, and marking the Hill Dickinson Stadium‘s first late winner.
It was just another reminder of the game-changing impact the former Villa man has had since landing on Merseyside.
If the Everton faithful had not already fallen in love with Grealish, they certainly have now.
