Everton 2 West Ham 0: Moyes signs off at Goodison with a win after Mirallas double
The game had long since been won. Acclaim flowed from the stands, Everton were playing with a swagger and all that was required was the final 60 seconds to be negotiated.
Had David Moyes wanted, he could have stood back and soaked up the atmosphere.
Nobody would have begrudged him the luxury of coasting through the last minute of his final home game as Everton manager.
Match Facts
Everton: Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Mirallas (Oviedo 90), Gibson, Osman (Hibbert 89), Pienaar, Fellaini, Anichebe (Jelavic 73).
Subs Not Used: Mucha, Heitinga, Naismith, Barkley.
Booked: Mirallas.
Goals: Mirallas 6, 60.
West Ham: Jaaskelainen, Demel, Collins, Reid, O'Brien, Diame (Carlton Cole 46), O'Neil (Noble 64), Collison (Joe Cole 55), Nolan, Jarvis, Carroll.
Subs Not Used: Henderson, Vaz Te, Taylor, Pogatetz.
Booked: Demel, Collins.
Att: 39,475
Ref: Phil Dowd
Not a bit of it. Moyes had decided one more substitution was required and, while others might have chosen to let the clock run down, he was sternly telling Bryan Oviedo what he wanted him to do.
Such professionalism, addressing the details, is what sets the best managers apart.
Goodison Park could easily have turned into a circus yesterday, but Moyes would not allow it. His reward, no matter how hard it was to keep focus, was a thumping 2-0 win over West Ham.
‘It was a perfect finish,’ said Moyes. ‘More important for me was how well Everton played. I thought we played like a top team, not one in fifth or sixth. We’d have been a match for any side.
‘The level of professionalism to show they didn’t get caught up in anything was a credit. Whoever comes in here next will enjoy that.
‘They are a really good group of players. It was really emotional.
‘All the stewards were clapping me when I came in and I didn’t know what to do. I’m really fortunate to get that reception. I am gobsmacked, thankful and humble for what the people of Everton have shown me.’
Moyes has been careful, since the news broke that he would replace Sir Alex Ferguson, not to show a lack of respect to his employers by mentioning his prospective ones and, in his programme notes, there was no word he is headed for Old Trafford, just that he is leaving.
He was prepared for a thorny reception. ‘As a fan you are entitled to support your team,’ said Moyes.
‘I’m a football supporter and if I’d have been on the terraces I’d have clapped the manager. I might not have liked what he was doing but I’d have applauded.’
As it was, the response he received was anything but prickly. Warmth has been lacking between him and the crowd in recent months — notably during the FA Cup quarter-final defeat against Wigan — but this was their chance to show some appreciation.
The goal which ensured proceedings started in the best possible fashion was indicative of the way Everton’s style has developed over the last 11 years; if they used to be functional, here was flamboyance.
Marouane Fellaini started the move, ushering Leighton Baines forward. The England left back skipped past Jack Collison and returned the ball to Fellaini. He ****ed it on to Steven Pienaar, who in turn ****ed it to Kevin Mirallas, who fired in. A brilliant strike.
West Ham could not get out of their own half and the speed of Everton’s passing and movement should have secured greater reward.As bad as the visitors were — they only threatened Tim Howard’s goal three times — Everton showed why they have spent the campaign in the top six.
‘I warned the players before the game what it was going to be like,’ West Ham manager Sam Allardyce, fresh from signing a new two-year deal, reflected. ‘It was exactly that. We couldn’t cope. We were lucky to get away with 2-0.’
Mirallas wrapped things up in the 60th minute, his shot looping beyond Jussi Jaaskelainen after he had been freed by Darron Gibson. Leon Osman and Pienaar also went close, while Victor Anichebe fluffed a glorious chance.
But nothing was going to stand in the way of Moyes being given a grand send-off and the poignancy of the day was further illustrated by the cheers for Phil Neville, who will leave the club when his contract expires, and Tim Cahill, who had flown in from New York.
‘What I will miss was what you saw in the middle of the second half,’ said Moyes. ‘The supporters weren’t cheering David Moyes, they were cheering their football club.
‘That was the toughest part. Every year we have improved. That’s the one thing I will walk away thinking.’ Judging by the fanfare he received, he won’t be the only one.

DAILY EXPRESS
Roberto Mancini will be sacked this week by Manchester City to clear the way for the arrival of Manuel Pellegrini.
Sir Alex Ferguson has told Wayne Rooney to get his head straight after confirming the England striker has requested to leave Manchester United... Wigan's FA Cup joy did not last long as all their relegation rivals pulled away from them yesterday.
THE GUARDIAN
Sir Alex Ferguson bowed out in his final home game as Manchester United manager with a 2-1 win over Swansea City before thanking everyone for the "most fantastic experience of my life" and imploring fans to get behind his successor, David Moyes.
Roberto Mancini is to be sacked as the Manchester City manager, with the Italian's tenure to end before the club's post-season tour to the United States and possibly this week.

He left in style. Sir Alex Ferguson left Old Trafford with a Premier League medal, with an adoring audience chanting "we love you, Fergie" and, typically, he left with a decisive late goal. He left a winner.

At both Everton and Manchester United it was independence day. However, in contrast to Old Trafford, where Sir Alex Ferguson's goodbye was staged like a North Korean rally, David Moyes's farewell was understated and in its way classier.
THE TIMES
Manchester United supporters bade an emotional farewell to Sir Alex Ferguson on an extraordinary day when their counterparts at Manchester City were coming to terms with the news that Roberto Mancini, their own manager, will be sacked.

Re: monday's news 13th may includes wes ham
in news that will chill the blood of Gooners, the Metro speculates that Pep Guardiola could make an "audacious bid" for Jack Wilshere. While the midfielder has just agreed a new deal with Arsenal, the free paper speculates that he could be a long-term target for Bayern Munich's new manager, who apparently reckons he'll be able to prise him away from the Emirates for the right price. The procession of big-name players such as Cesc Fábregas, Robin van Persie, Gaël Clichy, Samir Nasri and Alex Song through the Arsenal exit door in recent years would sugggest he might be right.
So how done is Manchester City's deal to bring the Málaga manager Manuel Pellegrini? Not done diddly-done at all, if the man himself is to be believed. The Spanish side's Chilean boss denies he has agreed anything with anybody. "I have not spoken to anyone," he says. "Rumours are coming from many sides." It is, according to Sid Lowe, the Rumour Mill's man in Spain, a "curious shift in words and tone. He said he hasn't got anything signed with any team and hasn't met anyone ... then named four or five teams he 'hasn't met', including City." Interesting. Eh? Oh.
The Celtic striker Gary Hooper is making loud pinging noises on Harry Redknapp's radar, having been identified as just the man required to help the Championship-bound side escape from the Championship. Redknapp is apparently prepared to pay up to £6m for the 25-year-old from Harlow, who has also long been a target of Norwich City. If the constant speculation about his future bothers, Hooper hides his well. "I would not say it is off putting," he said recently. "You have just got to try and forget about it, play the way you do in training, take that onto the field and try not to let it bother you."
The Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell, however, seems resigned to losing his side's star striker sooner rather than later. "We've got plans to talk to him so who knows?" he said. "It's work in progress at the moment. Gary has done magnificently well here and is a top-class player, so there will be interest in him from elsewhere. At some point the kid had got to look after himself."
The Brazil striker Neymar seems destined to play his football in Spain next season, with Real Madrid in the box seat to secure his scrawl by being prepared to pay the £59m release clause on the 21-year-old's contract, it says in Spanish daily AS. "El Madrid sigue trabajando a contrarreloj para evitar que Neymar fiche por el Barça," writes Marco Ruiz. "Si hace unos días envió a dos emisarios, el Santos esperaba hoy también la visita de dos hombres de la entidad blanca que asistirán al partido de ida de la final del Paulista entre Santos y Corinthians a partir de las 21:00h." Indeed.
And finally, Rafael Benítez is making it known that he's available for work and would like to stay in England, stopping just short of walking up and down the street outside Goodison Park, ringing a bell while wearing a sandwich board with "Hey Bill Kenright, can I have David Moyes's old job, please?" daubed on it in big letters. "It is started already, the agents are working," said the Spaniard. "The priority is still England, but if you cannot find a club, maybe you have to go abroad."
