It feels like we're all coming back together: Moyes

EVERTON manager David Moyes felt the final Goodison Park farewell offered a glimpse of what the future could be like when the love affair between fans and the club is rekindled.

Iliman Ndiaye scored the last goals in a 2-0 victory over Southampton as the ground signed off 133 years of men’s senior football.

The new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock offers a chance for a reset for a club which, for a decade, has been beset by infighting between supporters and the former ownership and poor results on the pitch.

Moyes has returned for a second spell and, with new owners The Freidkin Group, who made the decision not to demolish Goodison but hand it over to the women’s team, there is a genuine feeling of optimism, while the tens of thousands of fans who swarmed the streets before the game and then filled the ground brought a different energy.
