Dominic Calvert-Lewin crossed the pitch to give his shirt away to a travelling Blue in a scene that offers hope for the coming games.
At Crystal Palace Calvert-Lewin made his first start since early February after recovering from a frustrating hamstring injury that has hampered Everton's survival efforts. He lasted 90 minutes - longer than the backroom staff anticipated and when he was withdrawn in stoppage time it was for Neal Maupay's fresh legs and not any injury or fitness concern.
The best suggestion the 26-year-old had come through unscathed came on the final whistle. Calvert-Lewin had not disappeared towards the dressing room on his withdrawal nor sought treatment, even precautionary. He waited for the final whistle to blow and when it did he crossed the pitch to go to the furthest corner and thank the away end.
