at Goodison Park
FORMER Burnley defender James Tarkowski’s goal on the hour was enough to seal victory for Sean Dyche’s fired-up Everton at a raucous Goodison Park on Saturday.
In front of 39,314 fans on Merseyside, former Clarets boss Dyche steered his side home against the Premier League leaders.
The new Toffees boss – this proud club’s 13th in 13 years if you include temporary appointments – was full of energy on the touchline, mirroring his newly inspired side on the pitch, as Tarkowski rose at the far post to power home a header from Dwight McNeil’s corner to spark deep joy among the club’s long-suffering fans.
Premier League champions Arsenal will finally lift the coveted trophy this weekend after 22 long years. LAYTH YOUSIF pays tribute to and remembers those who are not here to see it
