Coleman Reflects on ‘Special’ Moment Captaining Everton at New Home
Seamus Coleman expressed how “special” it felt to captain Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, after playing the full 90 minutes in Wednesday night’s 2-0 Carabao Cup second round win over Mansfield Town.
Starting at right-back, Coleman helped the Toffees secure a second straight clean sheet and victory at their new waterfront ground.
It marked the first time the 36-year-old had completed a full match since last August, following his injury during Everton’s final game at Goodison Park in May.
Reflecting on his return, Coleman emphasised the importance of proving his fitness and contributing on the pitch, not just as a leader in the dressing room.
He also praised 18-year-old Harrison Armstrong, who registered two assists on the night, calling him “a great talent with a bright future.”
A vital figure during David Moyes’ original spell in charge of Everton, Coleman spoke positively about the renewed energy within the squad since the manager’s return to Merseyside in January.
He also shared the excitement he felt around the city following Sunday’s 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton, noting the growing buzz among fans and players alike.
