HILL DICKINSON STADIUM — You cannot replace history. If you are even going to attempt to, you better make sure you get it right.
The much-maligned former Everton owner’s legacy, however, has been restored in absentia, thanks to a stadium fit for a brighter future for its long-suffering inhabitants.

Man of the match: Jack Grealish
Two assists but a work ethic to match. Left the pitch late on to a much-deserved standing ovationTarkowski especially continued to live dangerous. After Jan Paul van Hecke struck the post, the Toffees centre-back made another mess of a clearance before being bailed out by a fine Jordan Pickford stop.
In recent times, as results have suffered, time and again new arrivals have come in and quickly looked disinterested before being moved on without leaving their mark.
No outfield player made more ball recoveries all match – way to endear yourself to an expectant crowd baying for blood.
“We’ve been looking for those important options with flair. He gives us that something different.
