There was a completely different energy about Goodison Park. The atmosphere inside the stadium, the freedom Frank Lampard gave the players to express themselves.
On the front foot, the midfielders driving forward. This is what Everton fans have wanted for so long.
Confidence is always boosted by getting the first goal but this was as good a performance as we have seen from Everton this season, especially during the first half.
The way they responded to conceding was great to see. In recent times, Everton would probably not have gone on to win the game once Brentford made it 2-1.
