Players travelled back with the fans after victory at Fulham but the side has struggled at their superb new stadium
T
he 20.12 from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street resembled an old football-special train on Saturday with Evertonians in full voice and party mode for the entirety of the journey after victory at Fulham. The impact of another valuable away win was not lost on David Moyes or his players. They were in the second carriage and listened to the celebrations all the way home.
“It was brilliant on the train going back because we knew what it meant,” the Everton manager said. “If you’re an away supporter and you put your money and your effort into getting to all the games, it’s a thrill when your team get results. And we did, we got it pretty late again. I think part of the job here is to actually give the Evertonians something to shout about and the away supporters have probably had it a bit better than the home ones. We need the home ones to give us everything which the away supporters are giving us as well.”
The 2-1 win at Craven Cottage was Everton’s sixth on the road in the Premier League this season. Since Moyes returned to the club in January 2025 Everton have won 11 of 22 Premier League away games – one more than in the previous three and a half seasons combined. Train trips were a more arduous experiences for players, staff and fans then.
