Lyndon Lloyd accompanies Paul Traill to become part of an incredible night at Goodison Park as Everton secure Premier League survival following a desperately fraught season.
We really didn’t get the rub from this one, either with officiating decisions or with luck. Things could have been so different.
With the way Saturday’s results went, you sensed Everton had an opportunity, and boy did they take it. What an effort. What a performance. What a day
Savouring that win in the Gwladys Street was something else. You just can’t beat the Old Lady when she's anything like that. We’re going to miss this special place.
Away from Goodison Park, Everton need to find some character and not shrink when things don’t go to plan. They have to stick at it better. We know this, it’s nothing new.
An astonishing effort from Everton full of grit. And the scenes at the end of the game were incredible. You could have stayed there and sung and clapped all night. It was magical.
"From minute one, right until the end, it was electric. Well done everyone."
Paul Traill on what was a fun afternoon at a much happier Goodison Park
At full-time, I was pretty dejected. I felt we had a good go and deserved better. It's pretty deflating to lose in that manner. I felt the players deserved more.
This nightmare feels never-ending, doesn’t it?
Despite the feeling that we should have won, we can’t ignore that we could have lost. Mason Holgate, who had a dreadful 10 minutes, ceded possession which eventually resulted in Giovani Lo Celso curling at goal.

And just like that, we’re back, almost as if we’ve never been away.
