Everton's first Premier League game at their new home was a powerful, emotional occasion - and The Athletic savoured every moment

Everton kicked off a new era at gleaming Hill Dickinson Stadium with fireworks and towering blue plumes of smoke on Sunday, 133 years to the day since Goodison Park had opened.

After an initial estimate of £500m, the actual cost of Everton’s new home is £802m. This makes it the second most-expensive stadium of all time in the Premier League, behind Tottenham’s new venue, which cost over £1 billion to build. The stadium name comes as a result of a ‘long-term agreement’ with the Liverpool-based law firm, Hill Dickinson.
