That could well be one of the most important results in Everton's 144-year history.
On a dramatic night at Goodison Park, the Toffees officially secured Premier League safety on Thursday after coming back from 2-0 down against Crystal Palace to win 3-2.
Three second-half goals from Michael Keane, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin helped Frank Lampard's reach that all-important 39-point mark. You can see that remarkable Calvert-Lewin goal below.
Hundreds of fans scampered onto the Goodison Park pitch in the moments after Calvert-Lewin's winner.
