Everton manager David Moyes is hopeful that a "big future" lies ahead for the club after an emotional goodbye to Goodison Park on Sunday.

Iliman Ndiaye scored both goals in a 2-0 win over Southampton in the final game for Everton's men at the ground which has been their home since 1892.

A move to a new 52,000 capacity stadium should offer fresh revenue streams that could allow Moyes' men to get back competing at the top end of the Premier League after years of fighting against relegation.

There is extra hope of a fresh start with the club in new hands after a takeover by the US-based Friedkin Group in December.

"There might be a club coming back together," said Moyes, who returned to Everton in January for a second spell in charge.

"The scenes outside the stadium were incredible. It is a club that is needing some big days, a big future. Let's hope this is the start of it.

"If we can take what we had today to the new stadium, it will be something."
