Match Report

Everton were founded as St. Domingo F.C. in 1878 in order that people from the parish of St. Domingo Methodist Church could play a sport outside of the summer months (during which time cricket was played). A year later the club were renamed Everton F.C. after the surrounding area, as people outside the parish wished to participate.[2] They were founder members of the Football League in 1888, and won their first League Championship title in 1890-91. They won the FA Cup in 1905-06 and League title again in 1914-15, but it was not until 1927 that Everton's first sustained period of success began. In 1925 the club signed Dixie Dean who, in 1927-28, set the record for league goals in a single season (60 goals in 39 league games, a record that still stands to this day), helping Everton achieve their third league title.
