Blues fightback makes new stadium feel like home now

DAVID MOYES revealed last week he had told Jack Grealish he wanted him to shoot more - but surely even the Blues boss wasn't expecting a moment like this as the on-loan star netted a stoppage time winner to complete a dramatic comeback for his side.

In truth this game hinged just as much on a second half flashpoint which exemplified another Moyes request.

When Everton moved from their home for the past 133 years to Hill Dickinson Stadium this summer, Moyes said he wanted to bring "the soul" of Goodison Park with them.

Blues fans are often galvanised into life when a decision angers them and the momentum in this game turned when Palace's Yeremy Pina refused to withdraw when the hosts had a free-kick by the centre circle.

Both James Garner - who shoved the Palace man - and manager Moyes got a yellow card for their protests but Everton got their cue for a comeback.

It had all seemed so unlikely as the Blues were overrun for an hour by their opponents who possessed the confidence of a side who hadn't lost a game since April.

"We're gonna win the league," sang the Crystal Palace fans in the first half.
