Goodison Park played host to its final Merseyside derby when Liverpool came to town on Wednesday night.
But here, on the night of the final home derby against Liverpool, it felt as though that short, emotional journey down the hill to the water finally began.
On the front of the programme was a photograph of Mikel Arteta who did once score a derby winner here for Everton but also happens to be the manager of Liverpool’s title rivals Arsenal.
James Tarkowski gave the famous old ground a fitting Merseyside derby send off with a stunning half volley in stoppage time.
For Everton it felt like an opportunity to derail Liverpool’s title ambitions.
