Follow live updates from tonight’s Premier League action as Everton host Crystal Palace and Burnley take on Aston Villa on what is a huge night in the relegation fight. It is Burnley who occupy the final spot in the relegation zone, with Mike Jackson’s team sitting one point below Leeds, but if they were to avoid defeat at Villa Park their survival hopes would be back in their own hands.

Yet another twist in this unmissable relegation battle. Ashley Barnes' penalty has put Burnley ahead at Villa Park, and if it stays like this they will need ...

This is a nightmare for Everton. The whole thing stemmed from a mistake by Seamus Coleman, who miscontrolled the ball and was robbed by Mateta. 31 min: Aston Villa 0-0 Burnley Nick Pope makes a brilliant save to deny John McGinn, who belted a bouncing ball towards goal from the edge of the area. It’s so tense at Goodison. It doesn’t help that Everton don’t know whether they need to win or not. But if Leeds fail to win at Brentford, Everton will be safe whatever happens. I understand the theoretical appeal of relegation, as a chance to reset and build something new, but there are no guarantees that will happen. It was a scruffy goal, the hell Everton will care. Mykolenko’s long free-kick was headed down by Holgate to Keane, who took a touch and flicked it sweetly past Butland with the outside of his left foot. Palace 40 min: Aston Villa 0-0 Burnley Villa are starting to get frustrated by Burnley’s defensive competence. Emi Buendia, who gave away a penalty just before half-time, has equalised after the break. And now there are hundreds of fans on the pitch! Gray’s superb free-kick from the right was met by Calvert-Lewin, who powered a flying header into the far corner.

Although Richarlison mis-controlled at first, he did enough to get a shot away and find the bottom corner of goalkeeper Jack Butland’s goal. Mateta robbed Seamus Coleman of possession in midfield and ran toward goal. Palace doubled its lead in farcical fashion in the 36th minute.

5’ - Everton hassling and harrying, Richarlison wins a corner on the right. It’s been a tense few days (and sleepless nights) as we get closer and close to the end of the season. Meanwhile, Leeds go to Brentford on the last day of the season. Taken short, headed out of the box, and falls to Schlupp but his shot is wide. Myko puts it into the box, cleared by Palace. Gordon cross blocked, and now Everton have a corner on the left. Everton have really struggled with setpieces when Demarai Gray is not on the pitch. He takes it himself, curled beautifully and it goes off the top of the crossbar!! They certainly look the more dangerous side every time they are on a counter. 58’ - Everton freekick on the left, Goodison is LOUD again. 70’ - Long ball into the box from Pickford, Guehi rolls his ankle putting it out for a corner. Gray with a delightful freekick into the box, Calvert-Lewin dives in and SCORESSSSSSS!! It’s 3-2 oh my god!!! Vieira is threatening to take his players off the pitch, and the FA need no excuses to punish Everton.

However, a win over Crystal Palace on the final day of the season saw the Toffees mathematically secure Premier League safety.

Amid a pitch invasion by Everton fans, Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira appeared to kick out at a supporter who looked to be goading him.

"If it is done in the right way let them stay on the pitch, let them have their moment. "It was pure elation of fans who have come on the pitch after avoiding relegation," he said. As Vieira tried to leave the field, a supporter seemingly holding up a phone could be seen extending his arms toward the Frenchman's face.

Second half goals from Michael Keane, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin helped Everton come back from 2-0 down to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 and stay in ...

A Palace touch cleared only as far as Richarlison who miscontrolled with his first touch but managed to release a shot with his second. Something had to change and Lampard introduced the lesser-spotted Alli for the badly out-of-sorts Gomes and switched to 4-3-3. It was a calamitous goal to concede, starting when Séamus Coleman was dispossessed by Mateta who darted down the left before crossing. The Goodison mood was punctured after Gomes and Doucouré were penalised for fouling Tyrick Mitchell deep in the Everton half. Patrick Vieira dropped two of his most influential midfielders to the bench in Conor Gallagher and Cheikhou Kouyaté but the visitors dominated possession regardless. It felt more like the prelude to a cup final than a relegation scrap.

The Toffees' 3-2 comeback win against Crystal Palace on Thursday means the team will stay in England's top-flight league.

They will finish the season in either 16th place or 15th, depending on Southampton which has a one-point advantage. Then in the 75th minute, Brazilian striker Richarlison scored a left-footed shot of his own that deflected into the goal to level the score at 2-2. Everton found life in the 54th minute when central defender Michael Keane finished a left-footed shot after a set piece.

Goodison Park delivered one of the biggest moments of the Premier League season on Thursday when Everton fans stormed the field to celebrate an ...

Going to the ground and surrounded inside the box, the Brazilian's sliding kick with the help of a deflection found the back of the net. Belief returned to Goodison Park when Vitaliy Mykolenko's free kick found the head of Mason Holgate. He headed it down for Keane to run on knocking it past Jack Butland for the opener. But the elation could be felt around the entire stadium as safety was secured Thursday. It would have been a massive disappointment to see a club as proud as Everton to fall out of the Premier League for the first time in 68 years. Frank Lampard must have delivered his most important team talk as Everton manager at halftime as they couldn't afford to enter the final day of the season facing Arsenal while still needing a victory. And blue side of Merseyside were 35 minutes away from it, had it not been for Michael Keane's savvy strike in the 54th minute, Richarlison's scrappy finish in the 75th and Dominic Calvert-Lewin's thumping header 10 minutes later. Only needing a victory to escape the relegation zone, Dominic Calvert-Lewin capped a second half that saw the Toffees rattle off three unanswered goals to storm back into Premier League survival in improbable fashion.

Frank Lampard delighted in Everton's 3-2 win against Crystal Palace that ended relegation fears, singling out Dele Alli's role on 'an amazing night'

“All that changed was that we didn’t respect the game as well as we did in the first half,” the Palace manager said. If it is done in the right way let them stay on the pitch, let them have their moment. On the pitch invasion itself Lampard said: “It was pure elation of fans who have come on the pitch after avoiding relegation. See the fans on the pitch in good heart and spirit. This club is special and I am proud to be manager of Everton on this night. The Palace manager declined to comment on the incident afterwards.

How the Everton supporters took things into their own hands to ensure their club's Premier League survival.

“The spirit of the club was immense.” The situation they had found themselves in was unwelcome, but from this near lowest of lows came some unforgettable highs. I do not know what the target will be this season, but next season we have to fight for the top four.” The Italian was there for the next season when Everton finished tenth, but only eight points off fourth. "If anyone else had come, I would have stayed at Everton,” he said in April. “I was very good there. The England goalkeeper made some key saves during this run of games, while Richarlison’s work-rate and goals have also been vital.

When Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed the ball into the net, Everton fans were ready to start celebrating their team's Premier League status being preserved.

While Burnley plays Newcastle on Sunday, Jesse Marsch’s Leeds is at Brentford trying to avoid joining Norwich and Watford in dropping into the second division. In an ideal situation we wouldn’t be in the position we were but then it produces moments like that and you can go from low to high so quick. Pickford’s one-handed save from Mateta kept Everton in the game. In the mayhem, Palace manager Patrick Vieira looked to be goaded by an Everton fan before he kicked out. Everton was enraged that Jordan Ayew was only booked for a scissor tackle on Anthony Gordon before he scored Palace’s second. Everton’s 5-2-3 formation meant it was being totally outnumbered in midfield.

Burnley and Leeds will be fighting for their Premier League lives on the season's final day.

Neither has an easy match but the Clarets will feel better about their chances due to a 20-goal advantage if the two finish level on points. While it's unknown what was said between the two, it's a situation that highlights how these moments can go wrong in an instant. The fans stormed the field again but for the second time this week, we saw how it can go wrong. That led to seven minutes of stoppage time during which Everton held strong to see out the victory securing Premier League safety. There's never a dull moment at Goodison Park these days as Everton spotted Crystal Palace two goals in the first half. Thursday saw Everton secure safety in the Premier League following a 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace. The Toffees pulled off a great escape when all hope looked to be lost at the half, scoring three unanswered goals to win 3-2.

Frank Lampard has declared keeping Everton in the Premier League as "one of the greatest moments of my footballing life and career".

But we relied on the players." See the fans on the pitch in good heart and spirit. It is easy to say 'but you haven't won anything'. You know what, come and work at this club for a few months and see the difficulties and what it means to people to stay in this league. "Dele was brilliant when he came on," said Lampard added. This club is special and I am proud to be manager of Everton on this night. Coming in here three and a half months ago with my amazing staff, positive people who work so hard, and trying to affect things and getting a reaction from the players, from the fans and feeling unity when it looked split.

Crystal Palace jumped out to an early 2–0 lead due to goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jordan Ayew. But a second-half surge from Everton led to a remarkable comeback win for the Toffees that secured their spot in the Premier League next season after battling relegation all year. The video showed Vieira on the pitch being taunted by a male supporter. The Premier League legend spent nine years of his playing career with Arsenal, where he made 279 appearances.

Everton secured their Premier League status in the most dramatic fashion, as the Toffees mastered an extraordinary comeback to overcome a two-goal deficit.

It was a reckless tackle - the Palace man came in hard at the Everton man in what was a scissor-motion with his legs. 75’ - GOAL! - (Richarlison) - What a crucial goal for Everton! It initially comes from a cross from the right by Coleman, and he finds Alli at the far post. 16’ - OFF THE BAR! - Richarlison goes for goal from a free-kick in a dangerous position just outside the box. This was a performance that the Everton fans had been waiting for all season from their number nine, and they got it in the most crucial game in their recent history. Up until the last half an hour, he was not in the game as much as he would've liked, but it was one of those performances where his work did go unnoticed. It has brought light at the end of the tunnel for Evertonians in what has been a disastrous season.

Manchester United can qualify for the Europa League with a win at Palace, although they would drop into the Europa Conference League with a defeat and a West Ham victory at Brighton. In the battle to qualify for next season's Champions League, Tottenham need to a win at Norwich to be certain of pipping Arsenal, who host Everton and are two points behind their north London rivals. Manchester City will be crowned champions for a fourth time in five seasons if they beat Villa at the Etihad Stadium. After Chelsea's painful penalty shoot-out defeat in the FA Cup final against Liverpool on Saturday, Arsenal's defeat at Newcastle on Monday had secured a top four finish for the Blues. With Goodison at fever pitch, Dominic Calvert-Lewin completed the comeback in the 85th minute with a clinical header that sparked a jubilant pitch invasion. Their thrilling comeback was a microcosm of Lampard's reign since he took over in January, with Everton staring disaster in the face before pulling back from the brink.

Of course, this isn't the first time that Everton have avoided relegation by coming back to win from two goals down against a team that play at Selhurst Park. Oh no. Football doesn't always get it right, even now, but there is at least an awareness that footballers are thinking and feeling people and that the mind needs attention as much as the body. And that would have definitely helped Joey at the time." Many years ago, some well-meaning stoner crept into a skate park in Buckingham, approached the underside of a ramp, took a can of black paint from their pocket and sprayed a message for all the world to read. It's going to be quite a busy last day for the beloved As It Stands table. But he has got the squad all pointing the same way and scrapping, and he's brought the crowd back to their club, and that's a decent start. Flying saves, reaction saves, influential clapping, serious pointing: Nick Pope is a master of the art of being a good goalkeeper in a not-so-great team. Decent enough to earn him the right to have a crack at something more long term, something more sensible, next season. The discipline trembles right on the line between what is useful and what is destructive. There is much to criticise and critique in Lampard's management, both his career so far and his short time with Everton. The defence remains a mess. "Go out there and throw yourself on the mercy of the universe, lads. Players in good teams multiply one another's talents; at Goodison, and particularly on the road, Everton's players have been busily subtracting and dividing.

Everton fought back superbly to overturn a 2-0 half-time deficit against Palace and in doing so secured their Premier League survival.

But Thursday was the Calvert-Lewin of last season — dominant, powerful, outstanding in the air — and he had a devastating impact. “It wasn’t the Dominic of old; it was just Dominic,” Lampard said. It was the first time, in 75 attempts, that Everton had come back to win a Premier League match in which they trailed by two goals or more at half-time. One goal became two and from there, there was a near-inevitability about the third. It was a night for the ages. Dele, yet to start a game for Everton since joining in January, added guile and legs in midfield.

The Crystal Palace manager, Patrick Vieira, appeared to confront a fan on the pitch in a clip posted on social media.

In the clip, Vieira appears to respond by first grabbing the man and then swinging a kick at him, before other supporters come to his aid and usher him away. On the post-game pitch invasion itself, Lampard said: “It was [the] pure elation of fans who have come on the pitch after avoiding relegation. He is then confronted by a fan who appears to gesture in his face.

A large group threw bricks and bottles at a police car outside Goodison Park, Merseyside Police say.

"Two key vehicles were forced to be taken off the road as a result of this despicable behaviour and will now need to be repaired." He was taken to a police station in Merseyside and remains in custody. Five men were arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly in a public place and one was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an officer in the execution of their duty, police said.

“If it is done in the right way let them stay on the pitch, let them have their moment. “It is illegal to enter the pitch area in any stadium and these actions are putting players, fans and people who run the game at great risk.” “It was pure elation of fans who have come on the pitch after avoiding relegation,” he said in his post-match comments.
