They had to come from two-nil down to beat Palace 3-2 and move four points clear of the relegation zone with one game to play.

Everton have spent more seasons (119) in the top tier of English league football than any other club to date.

The Goodison Park club remain one of six  clubs who have never been relegated from the Premier League since its creation in 1992.

The others are Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea.
