Which Everton player scored first in the Toffees' 2–0 win over Crystal Palace in 2026–27 Premier League Matchweek 1?

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored first in Everton’s 2–0 win over Crystal Palace in 2026–27 Premier League Matchweek 1. His goal helped Everton begin the campaign with a victory at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Dewsbury-Hall’s strike was followed by Thierno Barry’s goal after half-time. Together, the goals gave Everton their first opening-match win in five years and ended a run of eight top-flight matches without victory.

The match also marked a promising display from 19-year-old midfielder Harrison Armstrong. Crystal Palace, managed by new head coach Pierre Sage, suffered a difficult debut, compounded by an injury to defender Chadi Riad. The result gave Everton an important early boost.
