Crystal Palace were reunited with their former winger Yannick Bolasie at Everton on Friday.

Much like attending a party where your ex is in attendance, it was important for the Eagles to show they had moved on regardless of whether or not that is in fact the case.

Luckily for them, Bolasie did little to provoke any feelings of jealousy, as Palace came away from Merseyside with a very respectable point – against what is, at present, the Premier League’s third best team.

There were however, some signs of ill-feeling between the two – which will perhaps help speed up the process of getting over one another – with the Congoloese appearing to take issue with the visitors’ jeers at one stage.
