Hundreds of Everton fans at Goodison Park took part in protest against the board last night.

The Daily Mail reports a couple of hundred fans briefly left their seats in the 27th minute and others held up banners in protest against owner Farhad Moshiri.

But the majority stayed in their seats to show their support to the Toffees after a torrid campaign.

Supporters' groups had called for the walk-out following the latest development in a chaotic period for the club when Marcel Brands, who Moshiri appointed as director of football in 2018, left his post with immediate effect on Sunday, paying the price for a disastrous spell of recruitment.

They wanted fans to leave their seats in the 27th minute to show exactly how deep feelings run.

The significance of the time is that next May marks the 27th anniversary of Everton's last trophy, the 1995 FA Cup.

It is the longest post-war period they have gone without silverware.
