Everton said goodbye to Goodison Park with a 2-0 victory over Southampton thanks to Iliman Ndiaye's first-half double.

For Everton, Sunday’s contest was all about saying goodbye to their grand old stadium, which has been their home since 1892.

And it was Ndiaye, in his first season at the club, who ensured they bowed out with a victory over the Premier League's bottom club.

He opened the scoring in the sixth minute, slotting home at the end of a mazy run.

Ndiaye then doubled his tally on the stroke of half-time, beating Aaron Ramsdale to Dwight McNeil's pass and tapping into an empty net.

Everton, who also saw Beto have two goals disallowed, pushed for a final moment of magic at the Gwladys Street End, but Ndiaye will go down as their last goalscorer at the stadium, while Jordan Pickford made a fantastic save to prevent Cameron Archer setting up a nervy finish.

FT. Signing off at Goodison Park with three points! UTFT!

Data Debrief: Goodbye Goodison

This was the 633rd Premier League match at Goodison, which was hosting its 2,789th match in all competitions, and will now be the home of Everton Women from next season.

It was vital for David Moyes, then, that Everton end this era with a win. They snapped a seven-game winless streak at home, and also ensured they took the three points in their final league match of a season at Goodison for the fifth straight campaign.

Southampton did not come to the party until late in the second half, when the damage was already done – Archer had their best chance, with Will Smallbone also hitting the post. The visitors created chances worth 1.16 expected goals to Everton's 2.39.

This latest defeat means Southampton have lost 29 games in the league this season, equalling the competition record.
