With new manager Sam Allardyce watching from the stands, this was caretaker boss David Unsworth’s last match in charge of Everton having taken over the reigns when Ronald Koeman was sacked.

On This Day – November 28th 1931
This was Everton’s first season back in the top flight after the shock of relegation to Division Two just a couple of years after being crowned Division One champions in the campaign which saw Dixie Dean notch his incredible 60 League goals.
