Jack Grelish was overlooked by England boss Thomas Thomas Thorshell in the Three Lions match between Wales and Latvia, but won the Everton stop time winner against Crystal Palace
Everton couldn’t resist Jack Grelish’s cheeky digging of England’s omission after Lone Ace scored Toffee’s first goal in a thrilling victory over Crystal Palace.
Grealish secured a victory over the previously undefeated Eagles, who took an early lead at Hildickinson Stadium thanks to Daniel Munoz’s first half strike, and found the back of the net three minutes later.
Tuffy bravely fought back, Iliman Ndiai got equal from the scene, and Grail was encouraged to make manager David Moys take more shots – giving a blow of joy and leading the crowds of the house to joy.

He was unexpectedly ruled out alongside Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden despite widespread hopes that Grelish would return to Thomas Touchel’s England team for future fixtures against Wales and Latvia.
Everton has greatly updated his X-account bio to “Grelish for England” with a playful response to the snub after victory over the palace, Liverpool Echo reports.
Palace used to update his bio with each game. This is because the undefeated run had extended to 19 games before crashing at Merseyside.
Looking back at his winning performance in his match, Grelish said, “It’s great. It’s really good to score here. Do you know what’s upset? The last game I played here keeps telling myself in the 85th minute. Come on Jack and score.
“I did that against the Villa, I did it against West Ham, and I didn’t score, so today I actually said the same thing again and I ran to where my mom and dad were.
“That’s what you want to do as a winger. I have one goal and four assists. That’s what I want to do. It was difficult to do that for such a good team. They have an incredible number of players. I think Adam Wharton today can see the match awards there.
