Crystal Palace and Everton have played out a dull 1-1 draw in their latest Premier League encounter at Selhurst Park.

Both teams struggled to create any clear-cut opportunities, with Crystal Palace creating just two shots on target while Everton managed only one.

The deadlock was set up by a goal from Everton's Jordan Pickford, who made a fine save from Wilfried Zaha's header before the break.

However, Crystal Palace had a good chance to take the lead midway through the second half when Luka Milivojevic fired wide from close range.

Everton continued to press for an equaliser but could not find a way past Palace goalkeeper Mathew Ryan, who made some impressive saves to keep his team in the game.

Despite the lack of excitement, both teams will be happy to secure a point after a disappointing week for many fans.

Crystal Palace, who have won just three of their last 22 league games, will be hoping to get back on track against a struggling Liverpool side next weekend.

Meanwhile, Everton will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Manchester United and continue their promising start to the season.

Overall, it was a frustrating afternoon for both teams, with neither side managing to grab the victory they so desperately needed. However, a goalless draw should be enough to satisfy both sets of fans for now.
