Marco Silva’s substitutes scored twice in as many minutes to help see Crystal Palace lose late to Everton at Goodison Park.

Luka Milivojevic missed a penalty on the hour mark which then saw Ademola Lookman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin combine for the opener in the 87th minute.

And Wayne Hennessey was beaten again when Cenk Tosun raced past the visitors’ defence to hit the decisive blow.

Here are five things we learned...

It took just a couple moments to decide it

Credit must be given to Silva for introducing players who turned the game on its head.

Their speed and execution gave Everton the resources necessary to seek the win they were desperate to get.

Despite Palace doing well most of the match to try and come away with a valuable point, they had little answer for Calvert-Lewin, Lookman, and Tosun.

Palace missed another creator to help balance the workload

Roy Hodgson not having the ability to pick Max Meyer for the trip to Goodison Park likely hurt Palace a lot.

The industriousness of Cheikhou Kouyaté and Milivojevic is necessary, but the German could have really influenced the game.

Particularly on the counter-attack when Palace looked pedestrian at times when the visitors appeared stretched.

Did Hodgson’s bench show how limited his options were?

Your best attackers to choose from are one who is only just back from a two-year injury absence and a loanee still getting to grips with his team.

Midfielders? You have one that’s only played twice since the start of the season, and another who is some way off from breaking into the starting 11 itself.

It’s not hard to see why Hodgson didn’t want to rock the boat, making only one change all game, but if the options were there then they’d have probably come sooner.

It was nice to see Connor Wickham on a pitch again

Speaking of this long-term absentee, the sight of Wickham is positive – almost regardless of the result.

The 25-year-old has had a torrid time with injuries and it’s sad to see him face repeated setbacks given how much promise he had, or still has.

There is a role for him somewhere and it’s now a case of finding it for him.

Would a draw have been a fair result?

It’s difficult to say.

Yes, Palace did not rest on their laurels – they had chances before Milivojevic missed the penalty – and probably should have scored at least once.

But equally Everton dominated the game for significant periods and showed how clinical they could be with those two goals.

Palace can and will feel hard-done by because of the late double but Everton would have been the much more aggrieved party.
