A cheeky banner held up by away fans pointed to Everton’s lack of silverware in recent years.

It read: “At least an empty cabinet is easier to move.”

Fans also held up balloons with the numbers 30 and 1995, depicting how many years it’s been since Everton’s last trophy.

The Toffees’ most recent silverware was the 1995 FA Cup, with Paul Rideout scoring the winner in the final against Manchester United.

It ended up being a fitting final Merseyside derby at Goodison with the thrilling contest ending 2-2.

All hell broke loose after the final whistle as well, with Arne Slot being sent off and a huge brawl involving police breaking out.

The Toffees have been based at Goodison Park since 1892, having previously played at Anfield.
