Evertonians paying their final visit to Goodison Park were not hard to identify afterwards, they remained in their seats for one last, lingering look around the old place. A woman turned back as she reached the exit and waved goodbye. Goodison’s penultimate fixture, however, proved an occasion for Ipswich to savour as they make a dignified return to the Championship.
Everton were two goals up and cruising towards a first home win in three months when Julio Enciso changed the complexion of the contest with a stunning finish. David Moyes’s side suddenly had doubt where previously they had control and a late header from substitute George Hirst completed the recovery for Kieran McKenna’s spirited side. Another two-goal lead blown by Everton and an opportunity wasted against a relegated, depleted and limited opponent.
