Everton staged a dramatic fightback from two goals down to preserve their Premier League status with a 3-2 win against Crystal Palace on Thursday.

Iran PressEurope:  Frank Lampard's side recovered from conceding twice in the first half as Michael Keane and Richarlison netted after the break before Dominic Calvert-Lewin's late winner sparked wild celebrations at Goodison Park.

After a nerve-jangling battle to avoid playing outside the top flight for the first time since 1954, Everton can finally relax with one game to play.

Their thrilling comeback was a microcosm of Lampard's reign since he took over in January, with Everton staring disaster in the face before pulling back from the brink.

Everton are four points above the relegation zone, leaving fourth-bottom Burnley and third-bottom Leeds scrapping for survival.

"It is the character of this club, the fans and the players that dragged us through," Lampard said.
