Eberechi Eze was shown a yellow card for diving to win a second penalty against Everton - if awarded Crystal Palace would have had the chance to go 2-1 up in the first half
Former referee Dermot Gallagher believes the correct decision was made to not award Eberechi Eze a second penalty during Everton's win against Crystal Palace, though notes how there was a better option over yellow-carding the attacker.
Sean Dyche's men would go on to seal three points late on through Idrissa Gueye's winner, having lead on three separate occasions. However the main point on contention came in the first half with the scores level at 1-1.READ MORE: New Everton stadium Christmas aim as route to the bar and giant screens arrive
"I do know Eze, that when he gets in those situations to create a chance, it doesn't go through his head to throw himself down in the hope of getting a penalty," Palace manager Roy Hodgson told Match of the Day. And it seems Gallagher concurs with Hodgson's statement, explaining how the incident was not worthy of a yellow card - but Everton were correct to have escaped another penalty against them. This will be a lesson for Barrott, he believes.
