'I'm over the moon' - Jack Grealish dedicates first Everton goal to Toffees fans after late winner against Crystal Palace

Since joining Everton on loan in the summer transfer window, Grealish has appeared in nine matches for David Moyes' side across all competitions. He already had four assists to his name in the Premier League, and on Sunday, he scored his maiden goal for the Toffees. 

Speaking to Everton's evertontv after the Palace clash, Grealish said: "I'm over the moon to get my first goal and to do it here at Hill Dickinson in front of the fans, my family and in the last minute as well to win the game. It was an unbelievable feeling. Do you know what’s mad? In the last few games when we’ve been here, we’ve been drawing and I keep saying to myself in the 85th minute: ‘Come on Jack, imagine if you scored now’. I did it against Villa and West Ham and didn’t score, so today I said the same thing again and scored!

"I ran to where my mum and dad were, that was nice, and that goal goes to all the Evertonians who’ve made me so welcome. The way they've made me feel since I've come here when I see them, not even at the stadium but just around the place, it's so nice. There's no better feeling in life than to feel loved."

Grealish also spoke highly of the opposition Crystal Palace, as he added: "I think, to be fair to Palace, they're such a good team. I knew they were good, but they were really, really good, especially in the first half. We came in (at half-time), we spoke about stuff that we could improve on and we got after them a bit more. We made a few subs who I thought were brilliant, Charly (Alcaraz) and Beto, when they came on. I felt like we just went for it.  We felt the fans were with us in the second half and especially when we scored the penalty, I felt like there was only going to be one winner and luckily it was us."

Despite his great run of form in the new season, Grealish was left out of the latest England squad by Thomas Tuchel but the winger has revealed that he had a chat with the Three Lions boss. The Everton loanee also expressed his desire to return to the national team set-up by "keep performing and influencing games".
