Oumar Niasse's resurgence continues as Everton steal a point at Palace

A scarcely deserved 2-2 draw at bottom of the table Crystal Palace demonstrated the many issues afflicting Everton and helped explain how this team has gone 10 months and 14 games without a Premier League away win.

Everton managed to concede from their kickoff within 51 seconds and spent much of the remaining 90 minutes making the home side look like world-beaters. Only thanks to Oumar Niasse, favourable refereeing and a Palace defence as porous as their own did the visitors salvage a point.

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford attempting the most passes is an apt footnote for one of the worst team passing performances in recent years.
