After Everton bid farewell to Goodison, see what Pickford and Moyes said

Everton bid farewell to Goodison Park with a 2-0 victory over Southampton on Sunday, with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford playing a key role in the game. The Englishmen proudly said that he was very honored to be able to participate in writing chapters of history.

Eleman Ndiaye scored twice in the first half, offering a perfect curtain call to the club that has been home to Goodison since 1892. Although the legendary stadium will be home to the Everton women's football team next season, the men's team will move to Hill Dixon Stadium.

Betto scored twice for offside in the game, and Everton still had the opportunity to expand the score in the second half, but Pickford saved Cameron Archer's shot was particularly critical, avoiding the tension before the end of the game. This is the 633rd Premier League event hosted by Goodison Park and the final chapter of a total of 2,789 official games in its century-old history.

"We urgently need this victory, and Eliman's two wonderful goals set the victory," Pickford said in an interview, "The 2-0 lead may be a bit relaxed, but the most important thing is to end it with victory. Although we did not win the trophy, we will be recorded in history with the last team to win at Goodison, which is awesome. "

coach David Moyes is also full of emotion. The head coach who succeeded Sean Dyche in January not only led the team to get rid of the threat of relegation and jumped to 13th place, but also stayed awake at the farewell moment: "Today we must put aside emotional factors and focus on the game. After all, this is Goodison's farewell game. Excellent in the first half, a slight slack in the second half, but the key is to get a three-pointer. "

"The pre-match mobilization is different, and I told the boys that this team will be remembered by history. What moved me even more was the atmosphere on the scene, and the fans created a perfect curtain call. We completed the task and consolidated the league position. As an old Everton minister, I know the extraordinary significance of this stadium. "

Data confirms the Toffees' tradition of home curtain call: in the past 10 seasons, Everton has won 8 home games in the last home court (1 draw and 1 loss), and has maintained a complete victory in the past five years. After Moyes returned, the team scored only in the first half (17) after Newcastle (21) and Liverpool (18), one more goal than the total goal in the first half of the 40 games during the coaching period of Dech.

It is sad that Seymers Coleman, who started with the captain's armband, left the game early due to injury. After taking the armband, Pickford admitted frankly: "It is a great honor to be the captain, but today belongs to Coleman. It is really heartbreaking to watch him enter the game with three children but retreat in injury - he gave everything for the club and was Everton's spiritual totem. "
