      Everton’s £760million new stadium has stunning feature added ahead of opening next year

      by

      EVERTON’S stunning new stadium has seen a remarkable feature added.It comes ahead of the scheduled opening next year.The Everton Stadium on Bramley-Moore dock has had the ‘final piece of its jigsaw’ put in placeCredit: GettyWater is now flowing from the western wharf to connect the dock system to the Leeds-Liverpool canalCredit: GettyThe channel had previously been filled with sand, but has seen 17,000 cubic metres of sand dug up to reclaim itCredit: YouTube/Everton Football ClubIt will add a stunning new feature to the surroundings of the stadiumCredit: Everton FCThe £760million project on Bramley-Moore Dock is nearing completion, with recently released videos providing a glimpse of what the matchday experience will look like from the inside.However, the massive waterfront stadium has also transformed the surrounding area and has recently marked a major milestone with one key development.Water is now flowing from the western wharf of the Everton Stadium, which connects the dock system to the Leeds-Liverpool canal.Almost half a million cubic metres of sand had originally been used to fill the dock – allowing for the stadium’s construction by providing a key logistics area for project engineers.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBut over the last six weeks, more than 17,000 cubic metres of sand has now been dug up to reclaim the channel, which has now been filled with water to crucially connect the docks.This has created a new body of water which will add to the spectacular surroundings of the new stadium.The milestone, first announced by project developers on Friday, said: “On Thursday morning, pumps that worked 24 hours a day to drain water from a series of de-watering wells three metres below the bed of the channel – thus maintaining an artificially low water table to allow the excavation to take place safely – were turned off to allow the water to naturally rise back to its natural level.”An isolation structure at the southern end of the channel has eight sluice gates which allow for the level between the two bodies of water to be controlled via valves that can be lifted and closed as required.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSIt will connect the neighbouring Sandon Half Tide Dock to the north with Nelson Dock to the south and create a water body adjacent to the stadium’s western wharf.Chris Spragg, Project Leader at Laing O’Rourke, said: “Obviously we’re well progressed with the stadium-build now and we’re nearly there. This is one of the final parts of the jigsaw.I’m a Euros legend marrying Everton’s groundsman – our first date was in Ikea & scoring a winning goal beat his proposal“We originally filled the dock with just under half a million cubic metres of sand to enable the stadium construction, and a new secant piled wall to be built in front of the Western terrace.  “The retention of sand within the channel during construction provided a valuable logistics space to suit our construction sequence.”Now the stadium is nearing completion, it’s time for the channel to be turned into a body of water.“The water channel also provides connectivity for the Leeds-Liverpool canal, so that they can allow water to top the canal up through the dock system, which relies heavily on being able to use a water body in the Mersey to maintain the levels.”A new bridge is also being built to the north for vehicular access to the west wharf.However, part of the expansion has seen the original dock walls on the southern edge, including an engraved stone dating back to its historic opening in August 1848, preserved.

      Premier League invents ‘coldest graphic ever’ for Arsenal’s winning goal in North London derby

      by

      ARSENAL fans are in love with the Premier League’s specially made goal graphic for the North London derby. The Gunners beat their bitter rivals Tottenham 1-0 yesterday thanks to a towering header from Gabriel.Arsenal fans loved the cheeky goal graphicA Gunners cannon blew the top Tottenham badge apartGabriel’s header won the game for ArsenalCredit: AlamyAs the centre-back nodded in from a corner, eagle-eyed fans noticed a cleverly created graphic in the top left of TV screens.The scoreboard on the Premier League’s world service feed changed from 0-0 to 0-1 with the usual firing of a cannon.But for the derby, the gunshot cheekily blew up a Spurs emblem trying to run away.And just before the score changed, Arsenal’s cannon smoked while Tottenham’s trademark cockerel had lost its head.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLGunners supporters loved it, with one saying: “That is the coldest graphic ever.”Another added: “Goal graphic s***housery to the next level.”A third commented: “Graphic hits hard. North London is red.”All 20 clubs have their own customised animation for when they score on the Prem’s official feed.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSBrighton have a seagull swooping in and Southampton have the word “goal” decorated with a halo and angel wings in a nod to their nickname The Saints.Other eye-catching ones see bubbles fly across the scoreboard for West Ham, a fox’s tail wagging for Leicester and pitchforks raised for Manchester United. ‘I’d expect a foul’ – Paul Merson claims Arsenal’s winner at Tottenham shouldn’t have stood as VAR fails to interveneAll 20 Premier League clubs have a goal animationFans love the cool designsArsenal ratings vs Spurs as Gabriel is the hero in feisty North London derbyGABRIEL headed in the only goal of the game as a depleted Arsenal snatched all three points in the North London Derby.Here’s how SunSport’s Lloyd Canfield rated the Gunners players…DAVID RAYA – 8/10Commanded his area well, and was a safe pair of hands throughout the game. Another great showing in what has been a spectacular start for the Spanish stopper. JURRIEN TIMBER – 7Did well from an attacking perspective, charging down the left hand side on various occasions. Solid defensively too against Spurs’ flying right side of Johnson and Porro.Some would argue he should’ve been sent off for a challenge on Pedro Porro in the first half, but he escaped despite squaring up to Vicario in the aftermath.WILLIAM SALIBA – 8A really good recovery challenge in the first half to deny Dominic Solanke, despite being booked early on.You can always count on Saliba to put in a solid display, and he didn’t disappoint today with fantastic passing out from the back too. GABRIEL – 9A fantastic defensive showing throughout, reinforced with a towering header inside the box to give his side the lead from a set piece (shock). Has formed an impeccable partnership with Saliba, personified by their heartwarming celebration together after the opener. He’s the man. BEN WHITE – 6Gave away the ball in a dangerous position in the first half, with Solanke failing to capitalise and had a tough first half against the quick feet of Heung Min-Son.Was not able to demonstrate the dangerous right-hand side overlap we saw work so effectively last season, but wasn’t threatened in the second 45.JORGINHO – 4Struggled to replace the suspended Declan Rice for this North London derby, whom the Gunners really missed.A tough task, but didn’t come close to matching Rice’s intensity or ability to drive the ball up the pitch which left Arsenal weak in the forward areas.THOMAS PARTEY – 5Struggled in transition with Jorginho alongside him, another player who felt the full force of no Rice and Odegaard.Not fast enough with or without the ball, and will need to perk his ideas up for City next week. GABRIEL MARTINELLI – 6Looked like a bright spark with his running and forward movement, but was let down by his end product or lack thereof.Worked really really hard throughout, just looks short of confidence in the last actions. LEANDRO TROSSARD – 6Dropping deeper into more of a midfield role than he’s used to today, it should be noted that he did a job for the team when they needed him. Not the flying efficiency machine we have seen him be from the bench, but his versatility will be needed this season it seems. BUKAYO SAKA – 7Didn’t make the kind of impact on the game we are used to seeing from the brilliant Bukayo Saka, and looked less of a threat without Martin Odegaard to combine with. Did some really good defensive work nonetheless, and delivered the perfect corner to claim the assist for Gabriel’s opener. KAI HAVERTZ – 6A good header in the first half was saved well by Vicario in the spurs net – actually made more clearances (3) than he managed shots on target (2) in the first 45. Was a handful for the Spurs defence, but largely nullified by the pace and power of Mickey Van de Ven and Cristian Romero.  More
