Crystal Palace's relegation battle was made harder on Saturday as a late Seamus Coleman striker sealed a narrow victory for Everton.
In an underwhelming first-half, the Toffees were on top and saw Ross Barkley and Kevin Mirallas both go close with long-range efforts.
With a draw looking the most likely result, Coleman scored the winner in the 87th minute when he fired home into the roof of the net.
