Everton and Mykolenko End Crystal Palace’s Historic Unbeaten Run
Crystal Palace saw their club-record unbeaten streak come to an end at 19 matches, as Everton snatched a dramatic late victory in today’s 2025–26 Premier League showdown.
Despite leading from the 37th minute and appearing on course to extend their sensational run, the FA Cup holders crumbled in the final moments. A penalty converted by Iliman Ndiaye brought Everton level in the 89th minute, before Jack Grealish — making headlines with his first goal for the Toffees — sealed a stunning comeback deep into stoppage time (90+3’).
The result ends Palace’s historic momentum and provides a major morale boost for Everton, who continue climbing the table under pressure.
