Everton secured a dramatic late win over an in-form Crystal Palace.

The visitors took the lead late in the first half as Daniel Munoz was able to sweep the ball past Jordan Pickford at his near post on the counterattack.

But the Blues were handed a penalty in the last 15 minutes when Iliman Ndiaye converted after Tim Iroegbunam was brought down in the area.

Deep into added time, Jack Grealish snatched the spoils as his block on a Munoz clearance saw the ball rebound into the roof of the South Stand net.

David Moyes’ side picked up a first victory in their last five games from all competitions and moved up to eighth in the Premier League table.

Here were they key talking points from Hill Dickinson Stadium:

Blues finally get their moment

This was a moment which Evertonians had craved all season.

Crystal Palace pitched up at Hill Dickinson Stadium looking to extend a mammoth 19-game unbeaten run which had stretched back to mid-April.

Until the third minute of added time, they appeared destined to achieve that aim despite their hosts clawing back a leveller from the penalty spot.

But the turning point arrived sooner than Jack Grealish’s rebounded winner.

James Garner was booked for pushing Yeremy Pino after his opposite number stopped the Blues’ utility man from taking a quick free kick.

David Moyes also found himself cautioned for remonstrating over the decision from his technical area, which lit a fire in the club’s magnificent new home.

From thereon, supporters channelled the spirit of Goodison Park at its finest; baring their teeth to the FA Cup holders to ignite the impressive surroundings.

Finally, the banks of the royal blue Mersey has its first scrapbook moment.

Time to find a place for Alcaraz

The front line is not the only area where Moyes faces a selection dilemma.

Charly Alcaraz has made a compelling case for a regular inclusion in Everton’s line-up after his barnstorming substitute outing against Palace.

Arguably, the Argentine playmaker should have been handed a starting berth in the attacking third due to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s automatic suspension.

Instead, Moyes utlised Tyler Dibling and was left ruing his choice with the teenager failing to impose himself during his 45 minutes on the pitch.

Common sense prevailed at the interval with Alcaraz becoming a genuine game changer that should give his manager potential food for thought.

Ever since his initial January arrival, the 22-year-old has often provided a spark through his willingness to seize games by the scruff of the neck.

Finding a way of incorporating him from the off while still accommodating Grealish, Dewsbury-Hall and Ndiaye could inject some fresh impetus.

Striker struggles at Moyes’ door

The battle for Everton’s lead striker role continues in baffling fashion.

Beto may occupy the club’s iconic No.9 shirt but it remains far from a foregone conclusion with Thierno Barry still snapping at his heels.

The summer signing was handed a rare Premier League start which proved to be a thankless task against the Eagles’ largely resolute defensive line.

At 22, Barry is still far from the finished product. Still, his development is stymied somewhat with Moyes’ constant changing of the frontman personnel.

For a third time in four games, the Everton manager switched up his lead strikers at the half-time interval with Beto sent on in efforts to stem the tide.

It paid off with the introduction of the Guinea-Bissau international offering a new dimension in attack and paved the way for the added time mania.

Both Beto and Barry, however, are not being best served by Moyes living up to the ‘Dithering Dave’ moniker regularly thrown at him during his first spell.
