A former Man City player scored the winning goal, ending Crystal Palace's unbeaten run this season and also leading the Premier League assist charts.

Can you believe it? A player discarded by Man City has been reborn this season at Everton, truly proving the saying "a change of scenery can revive a person." The 30-year-old English forward Grealish, once Man City's record signing, became surplus to requirements this season and was loaned to Everton. In this Premier League round, he delivered a match-winning performance, ending Crystal Palace's unbeaten streak and topping the Premier League assist leaderboard—showing he can both create and score.

In the 7th round of the Premier League, Everton hosted the unbeaten Crystal Palace. The match was tied 1-1 after 90 minutes, but in stoppage time, Grealish, who started and played the full match, scored the decisive goal in the 93rd minute. This was Grealish’s first goal for Everton, helping his team secure a 2-1 home victory, claim all three points, and end Crystal Palace’s unbeaten streak this season. It also ended Palace’s 19-match unbeaten run across seasons.

This season, Grealish has also provided 4 assists in the Premier League, currently sharing the top spot in the assist rankings with Tottenham’s new signing Kudus. Under Guardiola, Man City’s attack has struggled lately; in this round, they narrowly beat Brentford 1-0 relying solely on Haaland’s individual brilliance. Meanwhile, Grealish, who Guardiola sidelined, seems much more effective than the starting Brazilian winger Savinho in this game.
