Townsend appreciation
Andros Townsend returned to the Everton starting line-up on Sunday afternoon and was back in familiar surroundings at Selhurst Park. The winger left Crystal Palace to make the move to Merseyside in the summer having spent five years with the club.
And it was clear to see from the beginning of the match that those in the stands had not forgotten the hard work he had dedicated to the Eagles. When Everton had finished their warm-up and jogged back towards the tunnel, the winger was met with warm applause from those fans sat around that corner of the ground.
