Yet another twist in this unmissable relegation battle. Ashley Barnes' penalty has put Burnley ahead at Villa Park, and if it stays like this they will need ...

This is a nightmare for Everton. The whole thing stemmed from a mistake by Seamus Coleman, who miscontrolled the ball and was robbed by Mateta. 31 min: Aston Villa 0-0 Burnley Nick Pope makes a brilliant save to deny John McGinn, who belted a bouncing ball towards goal from the edge of the area. It’s so tense at Goodison. It doesn’t help that Everton don’t know whether they need to win or not. But if Leeds fail to win at Brentford, Everton will be safe whatever happens. I understand the theoretical appeal of relegation, as a chance to reset and build something new, but there are no guarantees that will happen. It was a scruffy goal, the hell Everton will care. Mykolenko’s long free-kick was headed down by Holgate to Keane, who took a touch and flicked it sweetly past Butland with the outside of his left foot. Palace 40 min: Aston Villa 0-0 Burnley Villa are starting to get frustrated by Burnley’s defensive competence. Emi Buendia, who gave away a penalty just before half-time, has equalised after the break. And now there are hundreds of fans on the pitch! Gray’s superb free-kick from the right was met by Calvert-Lewin, who powered a flying header into the far corner.

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Everton secured its Premier League survival by recovering from two goals down to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 in the penultimate match ...

Although Richarlison mis-controlled at first, he did enough to get a shot away and find the bottom corner of goalkeeper Jack Butland’s goal. Mateta robbed Seamus Coleman of possession in midfield and ran toward goal. Palace doubled its lead in farcical fashion in the 36th minute.

Crystal Palace have had a fine season under Patrick Vieira and have recruited well from the second tier of English football in recent years.

But as Everton have embarked on their feckless and frantic spending in recent years, the Championship is a market they have somewhat ignored. After all, if they are relegated the financial pinch will be sharp. Eze, Olise and Guehi in particular have the potential to form part of an exciting Palace team going forward. Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines had also played primarily in the Championship before Moyes brought them to Merseyside. They are not burdened by the attrition of relegation grind and it shows. Although it will not be straightforward on Thursday, with Crystal Palace the visitors to L4.

The Liverpool-based club has been in the thick of the relegation battle all season long, and for a while it appeared dire, dipping into the relegation zone for ...

Instead, the Toffees mounted a famous comeback that will be forever remembered in Everton lore. Everton are safe, meaning Burnley and Leeds will battle it out for the final relegation spot. However, a win over Crystal Palace on the final day of the season saw the Toffees mathematically secure Premier League safety.

That now means Everton go back ahead of Burnley in the table as it stands. It sees Doucoure line up a shot from the edge of the area, but it is comfortable for Butland in the Palace goal. The Toffees need to hold on here!

Frank Lampard confirms his Everton team news and line-up to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

For the away side, Conor Gallagher is not in the starting eleven, with Jack Butland continuing in goal as Vicente Guaita is also named among the subs. Alex Iwobi makes it into the starting eleven - meaning the only question is whether he will operate from midfield or slot in as a right wing back, as has been the case in recent weeks. Michael Keane returns for Everton and is Frank Lampard's only change for the crucial game with Crystal Palace. Keane, who missed Sunday's defeat to Brentford through illness, replaces the suspended Jarrad Branthwaite.

Liverpool ECHO writers pick their Everton lineups to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League at Goodison Park.

It's hard to judge Dominic Calvert-Lewin's performance against Brentford on the whole as it was skewed by the sending off of Jarrad Branthwaite. But let's hope his goal has given him the confidence needed to put in an all-action performance, alongside Richarlison and Anthony Gordon, this evening. He did just that in the aforementioned 3-1 and 4-0 wins at Selhurst Park and in both of those matches, Andre Gomes and Abdoulaye Doucoure lined-up in midfield for Everton, just as they did in the 3-2 defeat at home to Brentford on Sunday. But not tonight. It could do his confidence the world of good and allow Lampard to begin planning for next term. What I am torn on is the positioning of Alex Iwobi - does Frank Lampard start him as a right-wingback, where he has battled hard in recent weeks, or move him into centre midfield alongside Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure? I’m therefore going to stick with the formation Lampard started with against Brentford and which worked so well until the first red card. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin on the pitch, Everton do have someone who can both win flick-ons and get onto the end of crosses.

Second half goals from Michael Keane, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin helped Everton come back from 2-0 down to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 and stay in ...

A Palace touch cleared only as far as Richarlison who miscontrolled with his first touch but managed to release a shot with his second. Something had to change and Lampard introduced the lesser-spotted Alli for the badly out-of-sorts Gomes and switched to 4-3-3. It was a calamitous goal to concede, starting when Séamus Coleman was dispossessed by Mateta who darted down the left before crossing. The Goodison mood was punctured after Gomes and Doucouré were penalised for fouling Tyrick Mitchell deep in the Everton half. Patrick Vieira dropped two of his most influential midfielders to the bench in Conor Gallagher and Cheikhou Kouyaté but the visitors dominated possession regardless. It felt more like the prelude to a cup final than a relegation scrap.

Patrick Vieira was involved in an altercation with a fan as supporters invaded the pitch following Evertons 3-2 win at Goodison Park, which secured their ...

"What if you make an announcement before the game that anybody who comes onto the pitch has a life ban? "We know how overjoyed the Everton fans are but you can't be pushing managers and pushing players and shouting at them in their faces. We have to stop letting fans or allowing fans onto the pitch. He was told that a separate charge of illegally entering the playing surface had been dropped. Having fans on the pitch is not the way forward. He ran across the pitch 80 yards in front of our fans but there's no issue.

As long as they behave, no problem." I would have said, 'come in with us' - although he might not have wanted that. Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira was involved in a confrontation with a fan on the pitch after the 3-2 defeat at Everton in which he appears to aim a kick at the man taunting him.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's diving header five minutes from time extended Everton's proud stay in the top flight to 69 years with a 3-2 victory over Crystal ...

But if Everton were outraged by that, their disgust was off the scale two minutes later. The outpouring of joy at the end was like nothing ever seen at Goodison, with the grass covered in blue-shirted fans carrying more smoke grenades and singing their hearts out to the assembled squad of players who, behind a cordon of police and stewards, remained pitchside to witness the scenes. There were echoes of 1994, when Everton came back from 2-0 down to win by the same scoreline and secure safety on the final day after beating a team who played at Selhurst Park, although then it was Wimbledon who were the victims. The calamitous nature of their defending which allowed Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jordan Ayew to put the visitors into a deserved two-goal lead was forgotten on a night of celebration and relief at the final whistle as Lampard’s name was chanted by all four sides of this old ground. And with the stage set, Calvert-Lewin – fresh from scoring his first goal since August in Saturday’s defeat to Brentford – launched himself at a free-kick and watched as the Gwladys Street End behind the goal exploded, followed by the rest of the ground. There was another incursion by thousands at the final whistle and inevitably there will be consequences for Everton, but nothing as damaging as what was staring them in the face with 150 minutes remaining of their season.

Frank Lampard has had his say after Everton completed an incredible comeback against Crystal Palace, securing a 3-2 win which confirmed their Premier League ...

He added: "It is one of the greatest moments of my footballing life and career. "People think you should fly up the table and it is never that way. "See us 2-0 down at half-time, playing poorly, ridiculous second goal and then see the character they showed. However, he believes that this win for Everton ranks right up there among the rest of his huge achievements. Then, a diving header from Dominic Calvert-Lewin set off incredible celebrations in the stands and later spilling out onto the pitch. Strikes from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jordan Ayew, shortly after he was spared a red card for a dreadful tackle on Anthony Gordon, put the visitors in charge.

Amid a pitch invasion by Everton fans, Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira appeared to kick out at a supporter who looked to be goading him.

"If it is done in the right way let them stay on the pitch, let them have their moment. "It was pure elation of fans who have come on the pitch after avoiding relegation," he said. As Vieira tried to leave the field, a supporter seemingly holding up a phone could be seen extending his arms toward the Frenchman's face.

The video showed Vieira on the pitch being taunted by a male supporter. Vieira, in return, turned around and appeared to kick the man, who then fell to the ...

Crystal Palace jumped out to an early 2–0 lead due to goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jordan Ayew. But a second-half surge from Everton led to a remarkable comeback win for the Toffees that secured their spot in the Premier League next season after battling relegation all year. The video showed Vieira on the pitch being taunted by a male supporter. The Premier League legend spent nine years of his playing career with Arsenal, where he made 279 appearances.

Frank Lampard delighted in Everton's 3-2 win against Crystal Palace that ended relegation fears, singling out Dele Alli's role on 'an amazing night'

“All that changed was that we didn’t respect the game as well as we did in the first half,” the Palace manager said. If it is done in the right way let them stay on the pitch, let them have their moment. On the pitch invasion itself Lampard said: “It was pure elation of fans who have come on the pitch after avoiding relegation. See the fans on the pitch in good heart and spirit. This club is special and I am proud to be manager of Everton on this night. The Palace manager declined to comment on the incident afterwards.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin hailed the game-changing influence of Evertonians following the stunning victory over Crystal Palace that secured Premier League ...

“It is huge. It is a massive relief.” “But to finish like we have in the past six weeks, the lads deserve massive credit, the fans deserve massive credit and so do the manager and staff. “It is relief,” added Keane. “It’s been a long and hard season, [we were] feeling pressure where we were in the table and knowing we shouldn’t have been there. “I made sure I was in the right area, and it was an incredible experience.” “What a rollercoaster football is – it is why we love the game and fans love the game.

Five minutes of normal time remained. Five minutes to preserve 68 years of top-flight football and to ensure Everton would not be fighting on the final day to ...

It was a calamitous goal to concede, a litany of errors that underlines why Everton are perilously close to the relegation zone. Alli was heavily involved, taking down Coleman’s cross on his chest on the left of the area and volleying low across goal. The Goodison mood was punctured after Gomes and Doucouré were penalised for fouling Tyrick Mitchell deep in the Everton half. Patrick Vieira dropped two of his most influential midfielders to the bench in Conor Gallagher and Cheikhou Kouyaté but the visitors dominated possession regardless. It felt more like the prelude to a cup final than a relegation scrap. For the third home game in succession the Everton coach was greeted by an impassioned mass of supporters on Goodison Road, but in far greater numbers and with far more blue smoke bombs than preceded Chelsea and Brentford.

Everton secured their Premier League status by coming from two goals down to defeat Crystal Palace 3-2 at a jubilant Goodison Park.

Then, five minutes from time, Dominic Calvert-Lewin launched himself at a free-kick and found the net. James Maddison put the visitors ahead after only six minutes but Marcos Alonso equalised with a volley before half-time to leave Chelsea three points ahead of Tottenham and with a far superior goal difference. The point was enough to lift Burnley out of the bottom three courtesy of their superior goal difference ahead of Sunday’s home clash with Newcastle. Leeds must go to Brentford and get a positive result.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's diving header five minutes from time extended Everton's proud 71-year stay in the top flight with a 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace; ...

"We needed the fans tonight and at 2-0 it was easy to expect the worst. Again, the atmosphere was another level, and it was great to see them on the pitch. "I didn't get him at the end. Relegation battles are tough and an experience in their own right, the support I've had from the owner, chairman, Denise [Barrett-Baxendale] and what the fans have brought in is hard to do. That goal was crucial, once it went in you felt the players, and the night, there was something special there. They want success and when they see a team giving it they react instantly. The spirit of the club was immense. It's a huge night for Everton and now we want to take that forward." Can you energise the crowd and score an early goal? You have to turn people and inspire them. The character of this club, the fans, players, just got us through. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s diving header five minutes from time extended Everton’s proud 71-year stay in the top flight with a 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace; Frank Lampard: "The character of this club, the fans, players, just got us through.

Frank Lampard has declared keeping Everton in the Premier League as "one of the greatest moments of my footballing life and career".

But we relied on the players." See the fans on the pitch in good heart and spirit. It is easy to say 'but you haven't won anything'. You know what, come and work at this club for a few months and see the difficulties and what it means to people to stay in this league. "Dele was brilliant when he came on," said Lampard added. This club is special and I am proud to be manager of Everton on this night. Coming in here three and a half months ago with my amazing staff, positive people who work so hard, and trying to affect things and getting a reaction from the players, from the fans and feeling unity when it looked split.

How the Everton supporters took things into their own hands to ensure their club's Premier League survival.

“The spirit of the club was immense.” The situation they had found themselves in was unwelcome, but from this near lowest of lows came some unforgettable highs. I do not know what the target will be this season, but next season we have to fight for the top four.” The Italian was there for the next season when Everton finished tenth, but only eight points off fourth. "If anyone else had come, I would have stayed at Everton,” he said in April. “I was very good there. The England goalkeeper made some key saves during this run of games, while Richarlison’s work-rate and goals have also been vital.

Everton came from two goals down to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 and ensured their Premier League survival.

I hope my goal today shows that and the way I worked in the game. In an ideal situation we wouldn't be in the position we were but then it produces moments like that and you can go from low to high so quick. Words can't describe that feeling of scoring that goal."

After the final whistle blew, and with Premier League survival secured, the pitch at Goodison was flooded by joyous Everton supporters who had experienced the full range of emotions over the 90 minutes – and the season as a whole. Things looked bleak after a damaging defeat at Burnley in April and, despite a valiant victory over Manchester United, Everton entered May five points adrift of safety and in real danger of their first relegation since the 1950s. Everton fans were given a night to remember after their 3-2 comeback victory over Crystal Palace that’s ensured Premier League survival – and the subsequent pitch invasion at Goodison Park was the very definition of life-affirming.

Everton secured their Premier League status in the most dramatic fashion, as the Toffees mastered an extraordinary comeback to overcome a two-goal deficit.

It was a reckless tackle - the Palace man came in hard at the Everton man in what was a scissor-motion with his legs. 75’ - GOAL! - (Richarlison) - What a crucial goal for Everton! It initially comes from a cross from the right by Coleman, and he finds Alli at the far post. 16’ - OFF THE BAR! - Richarlison goes for goal from a free-kick in a dangerous position just outside the box. This was a performance that the Everton fans had been waiting for all season from their number nine, and they got it in the most crucial game in their recent history. Up until the last half an hour, he was not in the game as much as he would've liked, but it was one of those performances where his work did go unnoticed. It has brought light at the end of the tunnel for Evertonians in what has been a disastrous season.

Frank Lampard says the “immense spirit of the Club... and heart and soul in the team” inspired “a special night in Everton's history” after victory over ...

"It's difficult to judge from the outside. Can you energise the crowd and score an early goal? “The character of this club, the fans and the players, just got us through. He's had to suck it up this year and he's done it. It's a huge night for Everton and now we want to take that forward. His goal was a huge one in Everton's history. "If we don't get that first goal, it's difficult to win. The support I've had from the Owner [Farhad Moshiri], Chairman [Bill Kenwright], Denise [Barrett-Baxendale, Chief Executive], and what the fans have brought in. He did something special." Then it's the energy, the players deserve immense credit. Michael Keane answered the call for a quick goal, netting on 54 minutes. "Relegation battles are tough and an experience in their own right.

Everton's three goals in the second half to claim a famous 3-2 win over Crystal Palace was enough to keep them in the Premier League for another year.

Mateta robbed Seamus Coleman of possession in midfield and ran toward goal. Although Richarlison mis-controlled at first, he did enough to get a shot away and find the bottom corner of goalkeeper Jack Butland’s goal. Palace doubled its lead in farcical fashion in the 36th minute.

The Crystal Palace manager, Patrick Vieira, appeared to confront a fan on the pitch in a clip posted on social media.

In the clip, Vieira appears to respond by first grabbing the man and then swinging a kick at him, before other supporters come to his aid and usher him away. On the post-game pitch invasion itself, Lampard said: “It was [the] pure elation of fans who have come on the pitch after avoiding relegation. He is then confronted by a fan who appears to gesture in his face.

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira was filmed kicking an Everton fan after Thursday's game at Goodison Park, having been told: "Suck on that you muppet."

The fan holding the phone had told Vieira: "Suck on that you muppet. As long as they behave, no problem." F*** off", before a middle finger was raised towards the Palace manager's face.

Everton supporters invaded the Goodison Park pitch as they came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and secure survival in the top flight.

When we got the first goal they made the difference. He said: "Having fans on the pitch is not the way forward, we have to stop letting fans on the pitch. "In the final game we want to finish on a high. Ultimately I thought that made the difference." I just had to make sure I was in the right area. They have made the difference. To get to 2-2, I just had the feeling we could nick one. We didn't score the the third and they come back. He told Sky Sports: "Disappointed as in the first half we played some really good football and controlled the tempo of the game and tactically. If it is done in the right way, let them stay on the pitch, let them have their moment. Asked about the incident after the game, Vieira said: "I do not having anything to say about that. Everton supporters invaded the Goodison Park pitch as they came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and secure survival in the top flight after their relegation battle.

On a frankly ridiculous night at Goodison Park, Everton dodged relegation with a comeback for the ages. And Burnley picked up another valuable point at ...

Of course, this isn't the first time that Everton have avoided relegation by coming back to win from two goals down against a team that play at Selhurst Park. Oh no. Football doesn't always get it right, even now, but there is at least an awareness that footballers are thinking and feeling people and that the mind needs attention as much as the body. And that would have definitely helped Joey at the time." Many years ago, some well-meaning stoner crept into a skate park in Buckingham, approached the underside of a ramp, took a can of black paint from their pocket and sprayed a message for all the world to read. It's going to be quite a busy last day for the beloved As It Stands table. But he has got the squad all pointing the same way and scrapping, and he's brought the crowd back to their club, and that's a decent start. Flying saves, reaction saves, influential clapping, serious pointing: Nick Pope is a master of the art of being a good goalkeeper in a not-so-great team. Decent enough to earn him the right to have a crack at something more long term, something more sensible, next season. The discipline trembles right on the line between what is useful and what is destructive. There is much to criticise and critique in Lampard's management, both his career so far and his short time with Everton. The defence remains a mess. "Go out there and throw yourself on the mercy of the universe, lads. Players in good teams multiply one another's talents; at Goodison, and particularly on the road, Everton's players have been busily subtracting and dividing.

Congratulations to Frank Lampard who took over at 16th-placed Everton and delivered…a 16th-placed finish. It was enough to spark joyous scenes at Goodison ...

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has called for his team to deliver a "big performance" to get the better of Manchester United on Sunday with the club ...

"It's been a really, really challenging season for United, but it's never easy to play them. But for Palace, the focus turns to finishing on a high at home to United. Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has called for his team to deliver a "big performance" to get the better of Manchester United on Sunday with the club eager to put a difficult night on Merseyside behind them.

Everton needed a win to ensure they continued their 68-year top-flight stay and Calvert-Lewin, who has been a peripheral figure this season due to injury, ...

It is the biggest weight in the world that has been lifted!" "It’s why we love the game, it’s why the fans love the game. "It was unbelievably special," Calvert-Lewin told Sky Sports. "The amount of pressure that we were under, going two goals down and then to get to 2-2, I just felt that another chance would come.

A man has now been jailed for the assault. I would have said, ‘come in with us’ – although he might not have wanted that. Addressing the pitch invasion at Nottingham Forest and similar scenes at other play-off and end-of-season fixtures, the EFL said: “We recognise that this lawlessness is being conducted by a small minority of individuals and that the majority of people attending matches are a credit to their club. The Blades’ striker was knocked to the ground, and teammate Oli McBurnie was also involved in a scuffle with a spectator, an incident into which the Football Association has begun an investigation. The Vieira incident is the latest pitch-invasion adjacent controversy to have marred the week in football, and comes at a late-stage in the season when teams should be celebrating their successes. Following a 3-2 defeat at Everton, the Crystal Palace manager was involved in an altercation with a fan on the pitch, in which he appeared to kick a man insulting him.

A large group threw bricks and bottles at a police car outside Goodison Park, Merseyside Police say.

"Two key vehicles were forced to be taken off the road as a result of this despicable behaviour and will now need to be repaired." He was taken to a police station in Merseyside and remains in custody. Five men were arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly in a public place and one was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an officer in the execution of their duty, police said.
