AliousThe 2023/24 campaign went down as one of the most tumultuous seasons in Everton’s history, adding to the club’s long list of struggles on and off the pitch in recent years.
However, despite being docked points on two separate occasions, manager Sean Dyche managed to steer the Toffees to Premier League safety with three matches still to spare.
This is the final installment summarizing Everton’s 45 matches across all competitions for the season, as reported by the Liverpool Echo – the only major independent outlet to cover all of the club’s games home and away.
In their Premier League match against Newcastle, Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford had the last laugh over the fans who have ridiculed him relentlessly.
Pickford produced a man-of-the-match display, making crucial saves to earn a hard-fought point despite being tormented by boos from the home crowd.
His heroics silenced the Newcastle fans by the final whistle.
Everton then ended their long winless run by defeating Burnley in a crunch clash crucial to their survival hopes.
With the threat of another potential points deduction looming and relegation rivals picking up points, this victory was an absolute necessity for the Toffees.
While lacking quality, Everton capitalized on Burnley’s reckless tactics to finally taste victory again after nearly four months without a league win.
So despite the turmoil of points deductions, Dyche managed to guide Everton to top-flight safety, aided by resilient performances like Pickford’s at Newcastle and a morale-boosting win over Burnley during the run-in.
