# Everton win first game at Goodison since March in fight for European football

Everton have struggled with their home form this season.

The Toffees [recorded the third worst record at home](https://readeverton.com/2021/05/19/sky-sports-everton-home-form-tweet/), better only than Sheffield United and Fulham.

This season, Everton have lost 9 games at Goodison Park.

However, yesterday saw the Blues manage an important [1-0 win](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57082268) over Wolves at their home ground.

The three points was the clubs first at Goodison since March, and has kept them in the fight for European football…

As cited by [433](https://twitter.com/433) above on Twitter, the win has had a massive impact for the last day of the season.

A second half goal from Brazilian forward Richarlison was enough to seal the win for the club.

This was a big response from the players that Carlo Ancelotti will no doubt be delighted with.

The Italian has [spoken out recently over his players’ attitudes](https://readeverton.com/2021/05/19/carlo-ancelotti-unhappy-with-players/) over the last few weeks.

Despite this, the team played well and responded promptly to secure a big win to take Everton up to [8th place](https://www.premierleague.com/tables).

Everton are just three points away from a European spot so long as West Ham and Tottenham lose.

However, with the club set to face Manchester City on the last day, it will be a huge test to achieve.
