THIS time last winter Everton lost a tumultuous football match to tomorrow’s visitors to Goodison Park.
It proved a launch pad for the kind of unbeaten run which sets up whole seasons.
But not for the victors, Aston Villa.
Everton were the team which rallied from that heartbreak to embark upon a stirring run of results.
After the crushing disappointment of that last minute defeat to Martin O’Neill’s side, Everton dusted themselves down and lost just once in their next 23 games – a run which included a revenge victory over Villa and a first appearance in a Cup Final for 14 years.
