Everton end home campaign on high as Doucouré header sinks Sheffield United
A lap of appreciation has rarely felt more appropriate at Goodison Park. Everton ended their home campaign with another solid victory before embarking on a lap of the pitch to thank supporters for their backing during another turbulent campaign. Unity has paid dividends.
Sean Dyche’s side signed off at Goodison with a fifth consecutive home win and clean sheet, equalling the club’s Premier League record, courtesy of victory over bottom of the table Sheffield United. Only Manchester City and Arsenal have collected more points since the beginning of April than Everton, who have overcome unprecedented hurdles this season and would be 11th in the table but for two separate points deductions.
