The decision to charge Everton with a disciplinary breach following the game with Crystal Palace is the icing on the cake of 90 minutes that included some baffling officiating.
Home fans, and several of those in the dug out, were left bemused and confused over a game in which it felt the Blues were on the receiving end of several strange calls.
There was the drop ball inconsistency, as Palace were twice given possession following head injuries at opposite ends of the pitch, including when an Everton attack was thwarted by the game being stopped. That sequence of events left the Goodison crowd, James Tarkowski and first team coach Ashley Cole all trying to work out what was going on.
