Ten-man Everton force FA Cup replay in Palace stalemate
Crystal Palace and Everton will meet again in the FA Cup third round at Goodison Park after a stalemate between the Premier League teams at Selhurst Park.
The Toffees had Dominic Calvert-Lewin sent off in the 79th minute of Thursday's tie with the 26-year-old striker shown a straight red card after a careless studs-up lunge on Nathaniel Clyne.
The tackle led to a VAR review and after viewing the footage referee Chris Kavanagh brandished red.
After nine minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to send the tie back to Goodison Park.
Everton captain Seamus Coleman was frustrated about the first red card of Calvert-Lewin's career.
"From where I was it's a great tackle, I've seen the replay afterwards. I don't know who the fingers need to be pointed at, (but) as soon as the ref goes over there, you know he's going to give a red card," Coleman told ITV.
"For me that's not a red card, and it's maybe another decision that goes against us that maybe won't get talked about as much."
Everton manager Sean Dyche said his side, who last won the FA Cup in 1995, would consider appealing the red card.
"I don't know if I can understand these things these days. I'm not prepared to say definitely it was or definitely it wasn't, it's a modern-day situation," he said.
On a rainy night in south London, managers Roy Hodgson and Sean Dyche chose to field strong teams and though both sides made decent goal-scoring chances, they largely cancelled each other out.
Palace threatened with crosses and set-pieces after the sending-off but failed to make the most of their one-man advantage.
