Crystal Palace and Everton played out a 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park on May 10, 2026, with Everton surrendering the lead twice. James Tarkowski opened the scoring in the 6th minute before Ismaïla Sarr equalised in the 34th, then Beto put Everton ahead in the 47th minute only for substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta to rescue a point for Palace in the 77th minute. The result was a significant blow to Everton's European qualification hopes, as victory would have lifted them to 51 points, level with Brentford in eighth place.
