Seamus Coleman makes 'frustrated' Everton admission after fan return

Seamus Coleman has admitted the fans make a huge difference to Everton's performances after they secured a 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday evening.

In their final Goodison Park fixture of the 2020/21 campaign, a header in the first half from Richarlison was enough for the Blues to secure all three points after a battling display.

That helped Carlo Ancelotti's squad finish their home campaign on a high note after what has been a dreadful campaign on their own turf.

6,500 fans were in attendance at Goodison, with this being the first time supporters have been permitted for a match in L4 since December.

And the Everton captain admitted they were vital in his side picking up the points, and the players were keen to give the fans a display they could be proud of.

Coleman told Sky Sports: "The fans make a difference to our performances. They have every right to be frustrated especially with our home form.

"Today it was not just for us. It was a release for the fans to be here. We had to put in a performance, running around and showing we care.

"It was a battling performance. We had a few chances to win the game by more. It gives us a bit of a game going into the last game.

"It is frustrating our home form but we will give it a go against the champions."

Everton travel to Manchester City for the final match of their campaign on Sunday.
