Fans all say the same thing about TV pick after Everton pull off remarkable comeback win

Everton have escaped relegation from the Premier League with a stunning come-from-behind victory against Crystal Palace, but only supporters inside the ground were able to witness the unforgettable scenes.

The Blues looked to be in serious trouble when Patrick Vieira's side clocked up a 2-0 half-time lead, but a phenomenal second half comeback brought goals from Michael Keane and Richarlison before Dominic Calvert-Lewin lit the blue touch paper with a late diving header to win the match, sparking a pitch invasion amid remarkable scenes.

The result not only ensured that Everton's proud 68-year top flight status remained intact but was also one of the Premier League games of the season, jammed-packed with high-octane drama. However, with Sky TV choosing to televise Aston Villa v Burnley instead, viewers at home were denied the opportunity to experience the drama that played out at Goodison Park.

Supporters and other football fans did not hold back in their condemnation of the Premier League broadcaster. Ross Gregory tweeted: "Sky have had a stinker here. Absolute d*****t pick while it’s all going off at Goodison."

Mark Allison posted: "Incredible with all the money that Sky pay for football and all its customers pay in subscriptions they can't get the Everton vs Palace game shown live tonight."

Another fan wrote: "What a game... Palace exploited weaknesses in the first half but an Everton side, running on adrenaline in the second over ran palace. Sky picking the wrong game... again!"

Rhys Turrell said: "Sky not showing the Everton game calls for an emergency MOTD tonight."

Supporters who weren't able to catch any of the action can live, can see a re-run of the game on Sky Sports Premier League from 10.30pm tonight.
