- Coleman will feature in his final home match as an Everton player today.
- The Irishman has not decided where he will go at the end of this season.
- Everton have a great record when Coleman scores for them.
Seamus Coleman has had a variety of outstanding moments in an Everton jersey.
After announcing that he will end his playing days on Merseyside at the end of this season, today’s encounter against Sunderland will be his last at home as an Everton player.
The Irishman has struggled to maintain his match fitness in recent seasons and has only played in eight league games over the past two campaigns.
Yet his experience as an outstanding full back has proven valuable for the Blues, and he is set to leave them with an impressive attacking stat.
Everton have not lost when Seamus Coleman has scored
Coleman broke through as an ideal modern-day full back, as he spotlighted his ability to be a genuine attacking threat from his early days on Merseyside.
His best season in royal blue came in the 2013-14 campaign under Roberto Martinez, when he claimed eight goal contributions and was named in the PFA Team of the Year.
The Irishman has had great attacking influence on multiple Everton squads, and the team have never lost when the defender has bagged a goal, according to EFC Statto.
Coleman’s last goal came in the 2022-23 season against Leeds United, when he managed to squeeze the ball past Illan Meslier and snatch Everton a vital 1-0 victory against their relegation rivals.
The Blues’ captain could get a final chance to bag one more goal in their clash against Sunderland, but he and Moyes will be fully focused on securing a win in the most professional manner possible.
Will Seamus Coleman grab one more goal?
Personal milestones such as goals, assists, and awards have not been a priority for Coleman, and he has consistently put his team before himself.
It is for this reason that he has been a role model captain for Everton, which goes to show how much he will be missed.
Yet for a full back who made his name from darting runs on the right-hand side, floating crosses into the box, and, of course, the odd strike on goal, it would be fitting to sign off his Everton playing career with one last goal contribution.
In an age when modern football has required full backs to become part of both the defensive and attacking units, Coleman has been a template for future right backs of the game.
