Amadou Onana’s header lifted Everton out of the Premier League’s bottom three as they rescued a point against Crystal Palace at Goodison Park.
Onana rose highest to head home from a corner in the 84th minute.
Jordan Ayew scored for Palace, who announced earlier on Monday that Roy Hodgson has stepped down as manager.
Former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner has replaced Hodgson, 76, who was taken ill during training on Thursday but is now out of hospital.
Ghana forward Ayew thumped a superb strike into the far corner past home goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and looked to have sealed three points for Palace before Onana’s late intervention.
Everton’s best chance of the first half came when Dominic Calvert-Lewin rose between two Palace defenders but his header from a Dwight McNeil cross went wide of the post.
Chris Richards and Jean-Philippe Mateta had headers blocked on the line by Everton defenders James Tarkowski and Ashley Young before Palace went ahead.
Tarkowski’s header from a corner was saved by Sam Johnstone who then reacted well to deny Abdoulaye Doucoure at the near post.
