The Crystal Palace and Everton match on Saturday was a disappointing affair for both teams, with neither side managing to break the deadlock in a 0-0 draw.
The game began brightly for the home team, who pressed high up the pitch and created several chances early on. However, they were unable to find the back of the net, with Everton also showing good defensive discipline and preventing any clear-cut opportunities.
As the game progressed, it became increasingly difficult for either side to create any meaningful attacks. Crystal Palace struggled to get their shots off from distance, while Everton were content to defend deep and frustrate the opposition.
In the end, the deadlock was broken in the 78th minute when Everton midfielder Allan Gouttefroy found space on the right-hand side of the penalty area and slotted a low shot past Crystal Palace goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
However, despite this goal, there was no further action as the two sides could not find a way through for the rest of the match.
Both Crystal Palace and Everton will be disappointed with their performances, but it's clear that both sides have some work to do if they want to improve their attacking play and score more goals in the future.
Overall, it was another frustrating evening at Selhurst Park for the Eagles, who continue to struggle to find the back of the net against top-flight opposition. It remains to be seen whether they can turn things around soon, or if this fixture will remain a constant source of frustration for them in the coming weeks.
