A LAST-GASP STRIKE from Seamus Coleman helped Everton maintain their recent run of good form with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Toffees, fresh off the back of defeating Manchester City 4-0 last weekend, inflicted a fourth straight league loss on Palace, who slipped into the bottom three following Swansea’s 3-2 win over Liverpool.
Christian Benteke struck the crossbar for Palace in the first half, before Scott Dann forced a great save from Joel Robles from Jason Puncheon’s free-kick.
But Everton won it late on through Coleman’s strike after Tom Davies found the defender with a brilliant pass.

Andy Carroll was once again West Ham’s inspiration in the absence of Dimitri Payet, scoring twice to secure a 3-1 win at Middlesbrough.

Carroll lit up last weekend’s Premier League action with a stunning bicycle kick in the 3-0 win over Crystal Palace and he was equally impressive at the Riverside on Saturday.
The England striker’s goals were the product of brawn and brain, thundering in a header from a corner before neat movement helped him convert a spilled shot from distance.

Carroll has now scored in consecutive league games for the first time since April last year, but typical concerns clouded his performance – an apparent groin injury ending his match early, after a week spent recovering from whiplash sustained scoring his stunner a week ago.
Christhian Stuani had equalised Carroll’s first strike and the Uruguay striker hit the bar in the second half, but Boro’s fightback was stifled and Aitor Karanka’s unwillingness to divert from Plan A – a growing concern on Teesside – perhaps cost them here.
Jonathan Calleri’s deflected effort in stoppage time wrapped up a victory for West Ham that lifts them into the top 10 and will also ease the pressure on Slaven Bilic as the Hammers boss plots what to do with the disgruntled Payet amid reports of a fresh bid from Marseille for the want-away winger.
Elsewhere, goals from Darren Fletcher and Chris Brunt earned Tony Pulis’ West Brom a 2-0 home victory over struggling Sunderland.

Benik Afobe scored late on to deny Watford the chance to end a miserable winless run, securing a 2-2 draw for Bournemouth.
Watford took the lead through Christian Kabesele, only for Joshua King to tie things up early in the second half.

Deeney popped up in the 64th minute, though, and it seemed they were set to bring an end to a six game winless streak in the league and overtake their opponents, but were hit back in the 82nd minute when Afobe found the net.
