Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall picked about the most dramatic way possible to open Everton’s 2026-27 Premier League season, curling in a goal from a tight angle in the 42nd minute to give his side a 1-0 lead over Crystal Palace at halftime. The strike came at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on August 22, the curtain-raiser for a new English top-flight campaign.
Harrison Armstrong provided the assist, finding Dewsbury-Hall in a position that looked more hopeful than threatening.
