Hodgson, who was hospitalised after falling ill at training on

Oliver Glasner, the new manager of Crystal Palace, was in the stands watching as Everton’s substitute Amadou Onana scored a vital late equalizer in a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.

After being named Roy Hodgson’s replacement less than three hours before kickoff, the former Eintracht Frankfurt coach grinned broadly at Jordan Ayew’s first goal for Palace in the 66th minute.

Onana, however, substituted in and scored a goal from a corner kick in the 84th minute to save Everton from the bottom three on goal differential.

Sean Dyche’s team would have suffered greatly from a loss, but the draw prevented Palace, who have only won twice in their previous 14 Premier League games, from moving eight points clear of the drop zone.zone.

Hodgson, who was hospitalized after becoming sick during training on Thursday, announced his intention to stand down earlier in the day. Assistant managers Paddy McCarthy and Ray Lewington assumed control of the team for the match.

McCarthy claimed that Palace’s performance would have provided Glasner with enough to be excited about.

McCarthy remarked, “He’s seen a team with spirit and commitment to the cause.”

“It’s a solid starting point in the correct direction in a challenging location.

“(Glasner) is an accomplished manager who has won throughout Europe. He’s joining a group that he will undoubtedly like working with.

“It is a wise decision for the football team, and I know the supporters will be thrilled.”

McCarthy, a former Palace captain, and Lewington have not made any announcements on their futures. However, if this was their final engagement, they made their old employer happy with a well-organized show following days of uncertainty.

Everton wasn’t playing at their best, andMaking just his second appearance in 12 games following an injury, the returning Abdoulaye Doucoure appeared rusty, especially when he failed to convert from six yards.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, whose goalless streak now spanned 19 games, was as guilty, missing headers in both half that he would have buried at the peak of his abilities.

Ayew’s incredible long-range shot broke the tie and ignited the match, but Everton’s increasing pressure paid off as Onana equalized six minutes from time.

Sean Dyche, the manager of Everton, lamented his team’s missed opportunities but thought the point was worthwhile.

We’ve just emerged from the relegation zone, and it’s another point on the board,” he said.

However, there were opportunities; we must now begin to seize them. A few excellent opportunities were missed by us.
