Wasteful Palace punished by Everton in Sage's first game
Everton beat Crystal Palace 2–0 to win their opening game of the Premier League season for the first time in five years, with goals from Kiernan Dewsbury‑Hall and Thierno.
Michael Carrick remained composed despite Manchester United's 2-0 loss to Hull in the Premier League opener. Hull, returning to the Premier League for the first time since 2017, overwhelmed the woeful United with a strong performance. Despite the defeat, Carrick refused to lose his temper, aiming to avoid the emotional outbursts that marked his previous manager's tenure.
He emphasized the need to address the issues arising from facing different systems. Pierre Sage, Crystal Palace's new manager, faced his own setback with a 2-0 defeat to Everton. Under Sage's predecessor, the Eagles had achieved notable victories, including the FA Cup and UEFA Conference League the previous season. However, Sage's debut ended bitterly, with goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry.
