Overview
- Jack Grealish scored in the 93rd minute to clinch a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, halting the visitors’ 19-match unbeaten streak and moving Everton up to eighth in the Premier League.
- His first goal for the club was an opportunistic close-range finish after Dean Henderson’s save spilled, coming after Iliman Ndiaye’s penalty cancelled Daniel Muñoz’s opener.
- Grealish dedicated the winner to Everton fans and said he feels loved on Merseyside, celebrating by racing toward the stand where his parents were seated.
- The forward’s resurgence includes four assists and Everton’s August player of the month award as he has become a primary creative outlet on the left.
- Despite his form, Grealish was left out of the latest England squad; Tuchel said there is “no problem,” while backing swelled on social media with a reported club X bio of “Grealish For England” and Erling Haaland calling him “The Bagsman.”
