Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford pulled off a huge save late in the game to keep the Toffees’ lead intact, before a bellowing roar from the fans almost blew the roof off Goodison Park when the referee blew the whistle for full time.

The outlook was bleak for Everton for quite some time after Harvey Barnes gave Leicester City a first-half lead against West Ham, vaulting the Foxes above Everton and out of the relegation zone. Everton avoided relegation from the Premier League by the skin of its teeth on Sunday, earning a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bournemouth at a raucous Goodison Park.
