Everton closed the chapter on Goodison Park with a 2-0 win against relegated Southampton in their final Premier League match at the iconic stadium. Iliman Ndiaye scored both goals, delivering an emotional performance that resonated with fans and past legends in attendance. The match, filled with nostalgia and farewells, saw the home side secure a 13th place finish in the league, while Southampton's struggles continued, concluding their season at the bottom. This victory marks a significant moment as the club prepares to move to Bramley-Moore Dock after 133 years at Goodison Park.
Tears and cheers greeted the Everton team introductions on an emotional afternoon, and it took Ndiaye less than six minutes to spark bedlam when he took the ball on the half-turn before driving towards goal and curling a shot into the bottom corner.
The 25-year-old Senegal international completed his double in first-half injury time when James Garner played a ball through two defenders, and Ndiaye beat goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale with a dummy and then tapped into the empty net.
