Sarr hits new heights as Palace's best playmaker this decade 📊 Ismaila Sarr has led Crystal Palace on the pitch this season, and it's what he's done again on Sunday evening against Everton. The 28-year-old saw his deflected strike go beyond Jordan Pickford on the stroke of the half-hour mark, and Palace turned things 1-1. It not only goes down as his eighth league goal this season, but he hit a figure not seen in over a decade!

Sarr is now the first Palace player to net more than 20 goals across all competitions in a single season in well over a decade. The last to do that was Glenn Murray back in 2012/13, some 13 years ago, and strictly in the Premier League, you have to go back to Andy Johnson in the 2004/05 season! He might need to strike again today with Beto restoring Everton's lead early into the second half.
