Everton faced a mighty challenge in Crystal Palace, as their head coach Glasner has been tipped for the Manchester United job.
Despite Palace’s unbeaten run, Everton fans pushed their team over the line, as the Toffees staged a very late comeback through Iliman Ndiaye and Grealish’s goals.
After the game, Glasner couldn’t help but touch upon the effect Everton fans had on the late comeback, as well as the beauty of the new stadium.
“I think [Everton’s supporters] were quite silent for 60-70 minutes, but also we helped them a little bit to get back,” he said.
- Daniel Munoz put Palace ahead in the first half
- Ndiaye scored a penalty on 76 minutes
- Grealish netted the winner in the 93rd minute
“Yes, it was very loud and it’s a really nice stadium, unfortunately we lost.
That now makes it five games unbeaten at Hill Dickinson Stadium in all competitions, as it’s squaring up as a successful replacement for Goodison Park.
After the international break, the games come thick and fast for Everton, as their new home will undoubtedly play a crucial role for the rest of the season.
