Who opened the scoring for Everton in their 2–0 win over Crystal Palace during the 2026–27 opening weekend?

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall opened the scoring for Everton in their 2–0 win over Crystal Palace during the 2026–27 opening weekend.

Dewsbury-Hall scored Everton’s first goal at Hill Dickinson Stadium on 22 August 2026. His goal put Everton ahead before Thierno Barry added the second after half-time, securing a 2–0 victory for the Toffees.

The match gave Everton their first opening-game Premier League win in five years. It was also their first victory in eight top-flight matches, making the result an important early boost for the club.

Barry is the most likely answer to confuse with Dewsbury-Hall because he also scored in the match. However, Barry scored Everton’s second goal, while Dewsbury-Hall was responsible for the opener. Harrison Armstrong was praised for his performance but did not score.
