Everton achieved a memorable 2-0 victory over Southampton, bidding farewell to Goodison Park after 133 years. Iliman Ndiaye was the standout player, scoring both goals in the first half. This win ended a seven-game winless streak at home, leaving the fans with a positive final memory of the stadium. Southampton struggled throughout the match, only showing signs of life in the closing minutes. With this loss, they equalled a league record of 29 losses in a season. Goodison will now mainly be home to Everton Women in the upcoming season.
Ndiaye will go down as their last goalscorer at the stadium, while Jordan Pickford made a fantastic save to prevent Cameron Archer setting up a nervy finish.
It was vital for David Moyes, then, that Everton end this era with a win, snapping a seven-game winless streak at home.
This was the 633rd Premier League match at Goodison, which was hosting its 2,789th match in all competitions, and will now be the home of Everton Women from next season.
This latest defeat means Southampton have lost 29 games in the league this season, equalling the competition record.
