Everton kept a clean sheet in their 2–0 win over Crystal Palace during the 2026–27 Premier League opener.
Everton hosted Crystal Palace on Saturday, 22 August 2026, and won by two goals to nil. Because Palace did not score, Everton's goalkeeper and defence recorded a clean sheet in the opening round.
The match was one of the Saturday fixtures in the first matchweek. It gave Everton three points and a positive start, while Crystal Palace began the season without a goal or a point from the contest.
A clean sheet means a team concedes zero goals; it does not describe the winning margin by itself. Everton's clean sheet was therefore the result of allowing no goals, while the final 2–0 score also records Everton's two goals. Other opening-weekend clean sheets included Arsenal, Brentford and Brighton.
