■ Dominic Calvert-lewin has 11 Premier League goals this season, the most by an English player for Everton in a single season since Andrew Johnson in 2006-07 (also 11). the Belgium striker through in the 51st minute. The angle was too tight and the shot too weak, but somehow Pickford allowed the half-hit effort to squirm underneath him.

Remarkably that was Benteke’s first goal of the season for Palace.

Everton were shaken and a Van Aanholt corner caused mayhem and almost found its way into the net moments later.

But then a clearance was superbly

■ Seven of Richarlison’s nine PL goals this season have given Everton the lead in a match. Only Marcus Rashford and Tammy Abraham (8 each) have put their kept in play by Calvert-lewin and Richarlison charged on to it.

The nimble Samba star had Palace defender Gary Cahill twisting and turning before he burst past and then fired low into the bottom corner with 30 minutes left.

Moments later England No.1 Pickford made up for his earlier error by denying Benteke a second with a save from point-blank range.

And the ever-dangerous Calvert-lewin got the third when he tapped home after a Richarlison header from Lucas Digne’s corner came off the bar.

And he should have had a second from another

Richarlison rebound, but in the end it didn’t matter. side ahead more often this term.
