We are all agreed that our current league position must and will improve.” Everton is in the relegation zone having made a poor start to the season, losing 10 of 19 matches under manager Frank Lampard, the latest defeat coming at home against Southampton. “This is an unprecedented decision,” a club spokesperson said in the statement. [Premier League](https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/06/sport/jack-grealish-manchester-city-chelsea-premier-league-spt-intl/index.html) club [Everton](https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/29/football/erling-haaland-manchester-city-premier-league-goals-record-spt-intl/index.html) were told to not attend Saturday’s home league game against [Southampton](https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/03/football/manchester-united-southampton-spt-intl/index.html) because of a “real and credible threat to their safety and security,” the club said in a [statement.](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/3018844) “Following a thorough risk assessment, and in response to tangible threats received by the Club and intelligence we have gathered, the Club’s Board members have been told they must not attend today’s fixture,” a security and safety advisor said, according to the statement. Everton said the directors had “reluctantly accepted” the advice to miss the match after the club had received “malicious and unacceptably threatening correspondence,” in addition to “targeted physical aggression” at recent home matches.

Amadou Onana's first Everton goal was not enough as a James Ward-Prowse double condemned the Blues to a 2-1 defeat at Goodison Park.

It nearly came in four minutes of added time as Gordon cut back from the byline, Bazunu punched out and Tarkowski’s goalbound shot was deflected behind by Walker-Peters. Another Southampton counter ended with substitute Anthony Gordon being penalised for a barge on the edge of the area and Ward-Prowse sent the free-kick over the wall and into the net. Ward-Prowse was not to be denied seconds after the restart, however. With Iwobi back, there was concern Everton would lose a different player to injury just seconds into the contest when Ben Godfrey went down after making a clearance. A winning goal felt inevitable. The Blues couldn’t capitalise on Gray’s whipped free-kick from 20 yards, however. Both teams pushed for a winner to ignite their seasons, leaving spaces at the back and it needed a solid block from Coady to deny Adams as he shot from the right edge of the area. Instead of 2-0, it was so nearly 1-1 with nearly the last kick of the first half, Southampton’s fast counter ending with Ward-Prowse placing a low shot into the bottom left-hand corner that Pickford did superbly well to tip on to the post and out for a corner. First, the 26-year-old jinked one way and then another to earn a corner off Walker-Peters and, as he whipped in a teasing set piece, Onana was on hand to plant home a header from 10 yards out for his first Blues goal. The best move of the early stages came on 20 minutes as Mykolenko slid through a pinpoint pass to Gray on the left edge of the area, where the in-form forward took the ball past keeper Gavin Bazunu and squeezed his finish over from a tight angle. Iwobi was in the thick of the early action and, on 10 minutes, he threaded a ball to the right wing for Seamus Coleman to do well to turn Kyle Walker-Peters and get dragged down by the defender.

I know I am not a miracle worker and I know that I am not the best coach in the world, but I know I will work as hard as I can to be as good as I can be." "The only thing I want to do is bring success to this club.
