Robin Olsen has some tough weeks behind him.
The 31-year-old had not played a football match since the home loss to Fulham on 14 February.
According to coach Carlo Ancelotti, it was a muscle injury in the abdomen, which also kept him away from games during the national team gathering.
Before that, he and his family also suffered a brutal robbery in their home.
But when Everton hosted Crystal Palace on Monday night, the Swede was back on the pitch.
Everton created the sharpest chances and also took the lead in the 56th minute.
Robin Olsen looked to be heading one way when he unexpectedly passed the ball back to Michy Batshuayi.
Heavy for Everton who thus lose important points in the battle for the European places.
Up to Tottenham, who have the grip on the last Europa League place, are two points apart.
