Sarr hits new heights as Palace's best playmaker this decade 📊

Ismaila Sarr is making history at Selhurst Park. The Crystal Palace winger has been the driving force behind the Eagles' attack this season, and his latest performance against Everton on Sunday evening was another reminder of his electric form.

With the scoreline hanging in the balance, Sarr stepped up just before the half-hour mark. His strike took a crucial deflection, wrong-footing Jordan Pickford and nestling into the back of the net to level the game at 1-1. It was a moment of quality that Palace fans have come to expect from their No. 7.

But this goal was more than just a equalizer—it was a milestone. Sarr's deflected effort was his eighth Premier League goal of the season, taking his total across all competitions to over 20. That's a feat no Crystal Palace player has achieved in more than a decade.

To put that into perspective, you have to go back to the 2012/13 season, when Glenn Murray last reached that mark for the club. And if we're talking strictly Premier League goals, you'd need to rewind even further—all the way to the 2004/05 campaign, when Andy Johnson was leading the line for Palace.

Sarr's impact this season has been nothing short of transformative. Whether it's his pace on the counter-attack, his composure in front of goal, or his ability to create chances out of nothing, the 28-year-old has become the team's most reliable playmaker. He's the kind of player who can change a game in an instant—and he's proving it week after week.

However, the drama wasn't over at Goodison Park. Beto restored Everton's lead early in the second half, meaning Sarr might need to conjure up another moment of magic to keep Palace in the hunt. With his current form, don't bet against him.
