Clear. Safe. The words Evertonians never thought they would here. What a comeback this was. From nowhere really. The first 45 minutes was as bad as Everton have been; the second 45 as good as it gets.
From 2-0 down to 3-2 up. From sleepwalking over the canyon to relegation, to one mighty leap to the other side. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s winner was greeted by a foolish pitch invasion, which may bring the attention of the authorities, but the sense of release was overwhelming.
After the second goal the last 15 minutes of the game was played out in a haze of blue smoke, like some illegal rave.
