Liverpool: Goals by Belgian international strikers Romelu Lukaku and Christian Benteke saw Everton and Crystal Palace draw 1-1 in their Premier League clash last night.
Lukaku struck with his fifth of the season in the first-half before Benteke, who endured a disappointing spell at Liverpool before moving to Palace in the summer, levelled with a superb header in the second-half.
The draw was enough for Everton to put an end to a two-match losing run in all competitions and lift them up to third whilst Palace remain seventh after extending their unbeaten run to four games.
Everton made a bright start to the match forcing Palace to concede several corners in quick succession with Yannick Bolasie torturing his former team-mates with some deft footwork down the left flank.
However, it took till the 19th minute for the hosts to force a save from Palace keeper Steve Mandanda, Lukaku firing straight at him.
Four minutes into the second-half Palace were level as Benteke produced a superb header, from Joel Ward’s cross, to beat Maarten Stekelenburg.
