Match of the Day 2: MOTD2 - 21st October 2018
Overview
Mark Chapman presents highlights from the day's Premier League game between Everton and Crystal Palace, plus analysis of the goals and incidents from Saturday's games. Everton recruited manager Marco Silva this summer after a disappointing 2017-18 campaign and spent £35m to prise Brazilian forward Richarlison away from Watford, but their early-season form has been inconsistent. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, will once again hope for a moment of magic from Wilfried Zaha, who has already scored in away wins against Fulham and Huddersfield this season.
