GOAL – Everton take the lead
85′ – Everton 3-2 Crystal Palace
INCREDIBLE, they completed the comeback as Gray’s free-kick was met by a superb diving header from Calvert-Lewin.

Iheanacho the sky
55′ – Chelsea 1-1 Leicester
Leicester grew up in this game and they look dangerous on the counter. Iheanacho collects the ball from some distance before firing a shot that goes well over the bar. This is Leicester’s second attempt of the game…
