Sports Mole takes a look at who impressed in Crystal Palace's 3-2 win over Everton at Goodison Park.

Crystal Palace tasted victory for the first time in the Premier League this season with a 3-2 victory over Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.

Romelu Lukaku broke the deadlock for the hosts early on, before a penalty from Mile Jedinak and goals from Fraizer Campbell and Yannick Bolasie handed the advantage to Palace.

Leighton Baines scored from the spot late on to set up a dramatic finish, but the Eagles held on to join Everton on five points.

Below, Sports Mole takes a look at how every player performed on Merseyside.


EVERTON

Goal

Tim Howard: Usually such a dependable performer for Everton, but it was a poor afternoon for the American as he gave away the penalty, before misjudging a cross to allow Fraizer Campbell to head home in the second half. (5/10)

Defence

John Stones: Struggled to convince at right-back. Must take some of the blame for the penalty after hesitating in the box, and given a tough afternoon by Bolasie. (5/10)

Phil Jagielka: Always looked a threat at the opposite end of the pitch, but was unable to prevent his own defence from being breached. (6/10)

Sylvain Distin: Returned to the side following a spell on the treatment table, but looked short of match sharpness against a quick Palace attack. (6/10)

Leighton Baines: The England international drove the hosts forward with some brilliant runs and teasing crosses as they went in search of a way back into the game. (7/10)

Midfield

James McCarthy: Dictated the tempo for long periods of the match, but looked uncomfortable when asked to move to right-back in the second half. (6/10)

Gareth Barry: Rarely wasted possession in midfield. Took very few risks, and can be pretty happy with his display. (6/10)

Leon Osman: Often used as a substitute in recent times, but took a rare opportunity well by setting up the first goal with an excellent pass. Typically accurate with his passing and was Everton's main creative force. (7/10)

Christian Atsu: Always willing to take a defender on with his bag of tricks, but his end product was often disappointing. (6/10)

Attack

Samuel Eto'o: Regularly switched between partnering Lukaku and drifting out to a wider position. Too eager to score on his own, but showing signs of settling in at Everton. (6/10)

Romelu Lukaku: It was a superb finish from the Belgian to open the scoring. Always a handful for the Palace defence, and could have had more if it weren't for some great blocks from Dann. (7/10)

Substitutes

Kevin Mirallas: Unable to get on the ball as often as he would have liked, but was a threat when allowed to show his pace on the wing. (6/10)

Steven Naismith: Found it much more difficult to make an impact from the bench, despite starting the season in brilliant form. (5/10)

Darron Gibson: The midfielder didn't have enough time to get on the ball as Roberto Martinez desperately searched for a late goal. (5/10)


CRYSTAL PALACE

Goal

Julian Speroni: Made a number of excellent saves as Everton piled on the pressure, and will be getting a big hug from his manager for the performance. (8/10)

Defence

Joel Ward: Unable to get forward as much as he would have liked, but stuck to his task well at the back. (6/10)

Scott Dann: Palace have a lot to thank the central defender for after he made a number of crucial blocks. At fault for the Everton penalty, though. (7/10)

Damien Delaney: Joined Dann in making countless blocks as Everton pushed on in the closing stages. (6/10)

Martin Kelly: Much like his fellow defenders, stood up to the challenge against a testing Everton attack. (6/10)

Midfield

James McArthur: Lovely passing on show from the midfielder, who won the penalty which got Palace back into the match. (7/10)

Mile Jedinak: Trademark display from the Palace captain. Broke up play in midfield, and capped off a battling display with a fine penalty. (8/10)

Joe Ledley: Forced to curb his attacking instincts when Everton were on top, but provided good support for his more defence-minded teammates. (6/10)

Yannick Bolasie: Eye-catching display from the winger as he troubled the hosts with his trickery before wrapping up the win with a fine finish. (8/10)

Jason Puncheon: Struggled to get in the game early on, but improved as the match progressed to provide a good option on the break. (7/10)

Attack

Fraizer Campbell: Often kept on the periphery, but defended from the front and took his game well. (6/10)

Substitutes

Adlène Guedioura: Positive when coming on with a few minutes left, and almost scored with a fine individual effort in stoppage time. (6/10)

Zeki Fryers: Joined the Palace defence late on as an extra body as Everton launched their final attacks. (6/10)

Kevin Doyle: Barely touched the ball after replacing Campbell in the closing stages. (5/10)
