LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Everton signed off its season at Goodison Park by enjoying a jeopardy-free 1-0 victory over already-relegated Sheffield United in the English Premier League on Saturday.
With safety already secured and nothing to play for except a club record-tying fifth consecutive home win without conceding, there was no nerve-jangling, nail-biting finale to its last home game of the campaign unlike recent times.
Abdoulaye Doucoure’s first goal in five months ensured fans could, for the first time in a long time, savor their sendoff to the players, with all the anxiety reserved for matters off the field because of uncertainty over the sale of the club.
Twelve of the matchday squad will be either out of contract in the next month or entering their final year, with on-loan Leeds winger Jack Harrison — having played his last game for the club after sustaining an injury — and Dele Alli, who has not featured since August 2022, also set to depart.
