Andy Hunter’s report from Goodison has arrived, so it’s time to wrap up this blog. Thanks for your company and emails, bye!
Post-match interviews
Seamus Coleman
“I’m sure not many gave us a chance today, but we believed we could win. The reception we received ... the football club means everything to these fans and we had to replicate that today. But it’s only three points and we’re still in a massive scrap. That save from Jordan [from Azpilicueta] was world class. There’s a reason why he’s England’s No1. Without Jordan we wouldn’t have won the game.
“I’ve been here a long time. But I’ve never been in this situation before, and I’ve never felt what I felt coming into the stadium today – the genuine passion, grown men’s faces as they sang ‘Everton’. If that doesn’t stir something in you, you might as well hang up the boots. We did that for them today.”
Jordan Pickford
“It’s what I’m there for, to make saves for the team. It’s a team effort. I really enjoyed the second half, but we can’t get carried away – we’ve got to refocus for next week. The fans played a massive part today ... The manager told Richarlison at half-time that his chance would come, and he took it straight away.”
🗣 "There's a reason why he's England's number one. Some of the saves were world class."
