Jags nets decisive goal against Arsenal, while a current Everton player was on target against the Toffees seven years ago today...

Phil Jagielka scored his last Everton goal ON THIS DAY 12 months ago.

The Blues captain was making only his third start of the season against Arsenal at Goodison Park and it only took him 10 minutes to find a way past Bernd Leno.

Jagielka was scheduled to begin the afternoon on the substitutes' bench but a pre-match illness for Michael Keane elevated him to the starting XI.

His goal came from a long throw-in by Lucas Digne that the Arsenal defence failed to deal with. The ball landed at Jagielka’s feet and he prodded it into the net.

It turned out to be the only goal of the game, so his 19th and final strike for the Blues was enough to earn three points.

Seven years ago today, Gylfi Sigurdsson scored an 87th minute goal for Tottenham Hotspur that denied Everton a victory at White Hart Lane.

The Icelander broke Blue hearts on Sunday 7 April 2013 when he turned the ball home from close range after a shot from Emmanuel Adebayor came back off the post.

Spurs had opened the scoring after just 33 seconds when Adebayor volleyed a cross from Jan Vertonghen past Tim Howard, but Jagielka levelled for Everton after a quarter of an hour with a far-post header from a corner on the right.

Eight minutes into the second period, Kevin Mirallas scored a tremendous individual goal to put Everton ahead. The Belgian collected a pass from Victor Anichebe and dribbled his way into the penalty area before despatching a low drive past Hugo Lloris.

The Blues were on the cusp of a third win in three seasons at the Lane, but Sigurdsson was to have the last word.

The legendary Dave Hickson scored twice for Everton ON THIS DAY in 1953 - but it couldn’t help the Blues avoid a record-breaking defeat.

Everton were at Huddersfield Town on 7 April and they conceded EIGHT goals in a single game for the first time in the Club's history (it’s only happened twice since).

It was a Second Division match at Leeds Road and the hosts were 4-0 up at half-time. By the time Hickson scored his first goal of the afternoon just before the hour mark, Huddersfield were six goals ahead.

His second came with just eight minutes to go… but the Yorkshiremen had already scored their seventh and eighth goals.

The 8-2 defeat was a crushing blow to manager Cliff Britton and his players – and it was all the more remarkable because Everton had beaten Huddersfield 2-1 at Goodison the day before!
