It only took 12 minutes for Harrison Rimmer to open scorings, before the young man Wigan broke his moment in front of Everton fans, holding six fingers regarding the number of Liverpool League rivals.
Cole Simms doubled the visitors’ lead shortly afterwards, and this turned out to be decisive, despite the late punishment of Ray Ray Roberts, but that did not stop the positive atmosphere from the fans who were delighted when they first saw their new stadium.
“The stadium is top notch. The views are amazing. That’s all you want, as a fan. Everton has returned,” said Steve Davis, the owner of the seasonal tickets since 1974, said Sky Sports.
Everton’s move from Goodison Park, their home since 1892, has been coming for a long time, with initial discussions about the new stadium in the early 1990s.
The plans for the construction of the stadium along the Mersey River in 2003 were abandoned before the government refused controversial plans for the construction of the stadium in 50,000 seats in Kirkby in 2009.

A few years later, a place was identified at Walton Hall Park, but the idea was delayed after opposition in 2016.
However, the work at the current place finally started in the summer of 2021, and the construction was completed in December.
Providing Everton avoidance of relegation this season, which seems probably, Evertonov 52,888 stadium will become the seventh largest in the Premier League.
