LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) – An Amadou Onana goal sealed Everton a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace and lifted the Merseyside club out of the Premier League relegation zone on Monday, with the match watched by the London side’s new manager Oliver Glasner.
Jordan Ayew had given Palace a second half lead just hours after manager Roy Hodgson stood down and their new boss Glasner was confirmed.
But Onana rose highest at a corner to head in an equaliser for Everton in a game low on quality, but which moves Sean Dyche’s side out of the bottom three and above Luton Town into 17th place.
Everton have 20 points from 25 games, the same as Luton having played a game more, while Palace are in 15th place, five points clear of the drop zone.
