Liverpool fans have had the last laugh in the Merseyside flare wars by lighting up the sky red during Everton's historic farewell to Goodison Park.
Everton's 2-0 win over Southampton on Sunday marked the final men's match at the 133-year-old stadium before the club move to their new £760million home at Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
