Cheikhou Kouyate cancelled out Everton’s opening goal, but a penalty to the Toffees sealed the fate of both sides.
Sky Sports’ stat man Matt Cheetham revealed that Wilfried Zaha failed to dribble past a single Everton player during the game. This is reportedly the first time he has failed to register a successful dribble at Selhurst Park in four years (relayed via @TheGwladysSt).
Naturally, loads of Blues fans are loving this and are praising their team’s solid defensive performance. Although, a lot of fans are also putting it down to the fact that Zaha is one of Everton’s recently linked targets, which is why he was off in his attacking form.
