Everton held on with ten men to escape with a point in a lacklustre goalless draw with Crystal Palace in the English Premier League on Wednesday.
Midfielder James McCarthy was sent off for a second yellow card in the 52nd minute following a clumsy collision with Yannick Bolasie, having already been booked for a heavy challenge on Yohan Cabaye.
Everton came closest to scoring when Ross Barkley's shot bounced off the top of the bar, but could not stop their winless league run stretching to five matches.
