Everton have been charged by the FA relating to last season’s win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League at Goodison Park. The Blues beat the Eagles 3-2 in the penultimate league fixture of the campaign to ensure survival in the top flight. Leading up to the match against Palace, there was genuine worry that Everton could be relegated to the Championship. Palace were leading 2-0 that night in May, before a second half comeback provided a victory for Frank Lampard's outfit. Michael Keane, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the goals for Everton, to send the Goodison crowd into euphoric celebrations. After Calvert-Lewin found the back of the net in the 84th minute, play was temporarily stopped after a small pitch invasion occurred. The game was eventually restarted, before there was a full-scale invasion of the pitch from supporters after the final whistle. Now the FA have issued a statement charging Everton for two breaches of rules relating to that match. “Everton FC has been charged with two breaches of FA Rule E20 following its Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace FC on Thursday 19 May 2022. “It is alleged that in the 84th minute and then following completion of the fixture, Everton FC failed to ensure that its spectators, and all persons purporting to be its supporters or followers, conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from using threatening and/or violent behaviour whilst encroaching onto the pitch area. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/
