As the final whistle blew, there were scenes of joy and celebration among the Everton players and fans, knowing that their Premier League survival had been ensured.

The hero of the day for Everton was Doucoure, whose stunning strike secured the crucial three points.
He unleashed a powerful shot past Travers, and his team held on during the tense remainder of the game.
With Everton’s successful outcome, Leicester’s earlier victory against West Ham became inconsequential, as the relieved Everton side could now celebrate their continued presence in the top-flight.
