Crystal Palace and Everton faced off in a match that was expected to be exciting but ended up being rather dull. The two teams had similar attacking styles, but neither could find the back of the net.

The first half was a bit more lively than the second, as both teams tried to create chances. However, Crystal Palace's attacking play was largely unsuccessful, while Everton struggled to break down the Palace defense.

Despite the lack of goals, the game did have its moments. Crystal Palace midfielder Wilfried Zaha showcased his pace and skill on several occasions, while Everton defender Phil Jagielka made some impressive tackles.

In the end, it was a frustrating draw for both teams, who were unable to score despite having plenty of opportunities. Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson may have been frustrated by the result, but he will take heart from the fact that his team played well throughout the game.

Overall, it was a disappointing performance from both sides, but one that was not surprising given the lack of quality on display. It will be interesting to see how Crystal Palace respond going forward, and whether they can improve their attacking play in future matches.
