Strand Larsen suffers defeat in Palace debut

Everton got off to a dream start in the new Premier League season with a 2-0 home victory over Crystal Palace. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall put the hosts ahead with a fine shot from an angle just before halftime, and Thierno Barry doubled the lead early in the second half with a header.

Jørgen Strand Larsen came on for Crystal Palace after 63 minutes, replacing Jean-Philippe Mateta, giving the Norwegian striker about half an hour on the pitch. However, he couldn't change the outcome as Palace also suffered a setback when Chadi Riad, the former Arsenal player, had to be stretchered off with what appeared to be a serious knee injury in his league debut. wlop.pl
