Frank Lampard said the show of support by the Everton fans left him with goosebumps as huge crowds answered a rallying call to get behind the team.
The roads surrounding Goodison Park were filled by thousands of Blues before kick-off as the players' coach was given an intense welcome to L4. The display was the result of efforts by supporter groups to show the squad just how much the club meant to them amid the relegation battle Everton find themselves in.
The passion and intensity was continued inside the ground and then replicated on the pitch by the players as they battled through to a 1-0 over Chelsea.
