Goodison Park got its rightful send-off on Sunday afternoon as Everton defeated Southampton 2-0.
Everton fans were in full voice and produced a truly special atmosphere in the final ever game at Goodison Park.
Even Southampton fans were blown away by how loud Goodison was, as they waxed lyrical about the noise on social media.
Toffees supporters went through all the best songs, with Yakubu’s chant even getting a run out at one point.
Richarlison’s name was sung around the Grand Old Lady just before half-time and now the former striker has a message for supporters.

Richarlison sends message to Everton fans
Richarlison’s infamous chant was sung in the 36th minute, amplifying just how loved the now Tottenham Hotspur forward remains.
“He’s Brazilian, he only cost 50 million, and we think he’s f—— brilliant, Richarlison,” fans chanted.
Now, the former Everton talisman has posted on Instagram with the caption: “I love you Goodison Park.”
MORE EVERTON STORIES
Richarlison also reposted multiple posts by Everton fans, including one which captured Goodison singing his name.
Everton’s official Instagram account left a blue heart underneath his post, so there’s clearly still a special connection.
Everton could re-sign Richarlison this summer
It’s no secret the Friedkin Group would love to sign Richarlison this summer, with Ange Postecoglou set to sanction his sale.
Everton fans really want to see Richarlison come home, but Moyes has previously poured cold water on that potential deal.
Asked about Everton’s reported interest in the Brazil international earlier this month, the Scotsman said: “There is zero truth in that on my side.”
Moyes may just be keeping his cards close to his chest ahead of potential negotiations with Spurs, who would be in a much stronger position to demand a sizable fee if they knew he was a top target, for instance.
So, perhaps there is an emotional homecoming for Richarlison.
