Everton manager David Moyes expressed optimism about the club’s future after a memorable final match at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Iliman Ndiaye scored both goals in a 2-0 victory over Southampton, marking the last game Everton’s men will play at the historic stadium, which has served as their home since 1892.
The club is preparing to move into a new 52,000-seat stadium, which is expected to generate additional revenue and provide the platform for Everton to reestablish themselves in the Premier League after several seasons of battling relegation.
In addition to the stadium move, Everton‘s future is under new ownership following the December takeover by the U.S.-based Friedkin Group, offering renewed hope for long-term stability and success.
“There might be a club coming back together,” Moyes said, reflecting on the atmosphere surrounding the farewell. Moyes returned to the club in January for a second spell in charge.
“The scenes outside the stadium were incredible. It is a club that is needing some big days, a big future. Let’s hope this is the start of it.
“If we can take what we had today to the new stadium, it will be something.”
The win over Southampton gave Everton a fitting send-off from Goodison Park, with supporters and players united in an emotional farewell to a ground that has hosted the club for more than 130 years.
The team now looks ahead to the transition, with hopes that the combination of a modern venue and new leadership will help spark a resurgence.
