PL: Everton Bid Farewell To Goodison Park With 2-0 Win Over Southampton
The Grand Old Lady: After 133 years, 2,791 games, and 5,372 goals, Everton Football Club bid an emotional farewell to Goodison Park with a 2-0 victory over Southampton on May 18, 2025. The historic ground, affectionately known as "The Grand Old Lady," witnessed its final men's senior match, marking the end of an era for the Toffees.
The match was highlighted by a first-half brace from Senegalese forward Iliman Ndiaye, who scored in the 6th minute and again in first-half stoppage time, securing the win for Everton. Despite two disallowed goals for offside by striker Beto, the Toffees dominated the game, providing a fitting send-off for their storied home.
Captain Seamus Coleman, a club legend with 427 appearances since 2009, started the match but was substituted after 17 minutes, receiving a standing ovation from the fans. The substitution was seen as a symbolic gesture to honor Coleman's contributions to the club.
