Lukaku's strike secures point against Palace

Romelu Lukaku scored his sixth goal in six games to equalise with a late strike in an entertaining match against Crystal Palace.

Poor Everton defending allowed Scott Dann to head Palace in front late on as the Londoners looked on course to win.

But Lukaku - who had twice struck the crossbar - tapped in Gerard Deulofeu's low cross from two yards for a deserved point for the dominant hosts.

Jordon Mutch scuffed a shot wide as both teams searched for a winner.
