Everton fans had a terrible weekend. Their team lost to Southampton at home, putting Frank Lampard under yet more pressure – and they were made to look like fools by the Saints’ media team.The Evertonians came up to a “brilliant” idea to set off fireworks in front of the hotel where Southampton players were staying the night before their Saturday’s Premier League encounter. The plan was to keep the players up with the noise and make them tired for the match at Goodison Park. But the plan backfired on them. Everton fans set off fireworks outside the Southampton team hotel just to lose 2-1 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/0SfxIwGZYu— Adam Pearson (YT) ⚫️⚪️ (@AdamP1242) January 14, 2023 Players, staff and manager Nathan Jones slept soundly and only found out about it the morning after. And that same afternoon, James Ward-Prowse scored a stunning free-kick ten minutes before the end as Southampton came from behind to win and leave the home team second-bottom.Three hours after the final whistle, Southampton’s social media team made light of Everton’s firework display, thanking them in an ironic and humorous hotel feedback review, which they then posted online.”Rooms were brilliant, beds were incredibly comfy, and the blackout blinds and triple glazing… oh wow! You could literally have a firework display going on outside your window and you’d never know it. Best night’s sleep we’ve ever had! In fact, the only rocket we noticed all weekend was the one James Ward-Prowse sent into the net in the 78th minute at Goodison. Will definitely be returning again.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6945112##The mood among the Saints has changed completely this week. They beat Manchester City to book a place in the Carabao Cup semi-final, and now they won three precious points against another Premier League struggler. They earned the right to have some fun at Everton’s expense.Everton fans talking to their CB Yerry Mina after they lie 19th in Premier League… pic.twitter.com/DUhQSLrXMc— george (@StokeyyG2) January 14, 2023 Understandably, the Toffees’ are in a state of distress. Fans surrounded their defender Yerry Mina following the match on Saturday and demanded more effort from the team. It’s funny how quickly the mood can shift in football.
