An Everton fan has perfectly summed up their tumultuous season as Abdoulaye Doucoure's superb strike secured their place in the Premier League.
The curtain came down on a frustrating and worrying campaign in the English top-flight on Sunday. Leicester City and Leeds United both sat two points below the Blues needing Bournemouth to take a positive result at Goodison Park if they were to have a chance of staying up.
After surviving the drop last season, most Evertonians were hoping that a change would be afoot in Frank Lampard's first full season in charge but it never quite transpired. When bottom-of-the-table Southampton won at Goodison Park in January to move level on points with the Blues, many feared for their immediate future in the Premier League.

Blues fan David The Toffee tweeted after full-time: "Hardest campaign I’ve ever done - and I did every game. Killed me.
"Move on. Improve everything. They all did well today but Jimmy Garner was fantastic. Superb.
"Our fans are our major resource. Up the last-day Toffees."
A matter of weeks after their defeat to the Saints, the Chelsea icon was relieved of his duties and subsequently replaced by Sean Dyche. The former Burnley boss returned to management almost 12 months after his sacking at Turf Moor as he took up the position in the L4 hotseat during a precarious time.
Fast forward to May and Everton needed to beat the Cherries to cement their place in next season's Premier League season, which they did thanks to the Mali international.
