LONDON: Everton escaped with a point from a lacklustre
goalless draw with Crystal Palace after midfielder James McCarthy was
sent off at Selhurst Park on Wednesday (Apr 13).
McCarthy was dismissed for a second yellow card in the 52nd
minute of a possible FA Cup final rehearsal following a clumsy collision
with Yannick Bolasie after being booked for a heavy challenge on Yohan
Cabaye.
Everton, who will meet Manchester United in the FA Cup
semi-finals, came closest to scoring when Ross Barkley's shot bounced
off the top of the bar but could not stop their winless league run
stretching to five matches.
Palace, who meet Watford in the Cup semis, had more
possession after McCarthy went off, but were happy to settle for a point
in their third match unbeaten after ending a 13-match winless streak
against Norwich City on Saturday.
