- .... it was our 3rd victory in a row against Hull - but our 1st ever at their place in the Premier League

- and it brought our record in final game of a season to W6 D2 L1 in the last 9 campaigns

- it also means that we've now gone 19 matches without a draw - a W12 D0 L7 record
- we haven't gone that long without a draw since March 1968!

- that was part of a 23 match spell without drawing!
- not as long as our record run, though, which was a 26 game span ending in October 1958

- and so we finish in 5th place for just the 3rd time in our Prem history
- that's in addition to 2004/05's 4th place, of course

- and we'll now be able to experience the Europa League for the first time since 2009/10's adventure

- our season ends with these headline stats:

- 21 Premier League wins
- that's our best ever in the Prem and the most since the 26 we achieved in 1986/87
- that was a 42-game season, by the way

- 13 home Premier League wins
- that's our record Prem total and the most since the 14 we achieved in 1989/90

- 72 League points
- that's our best total in the Premier League and the most since the 86 we racked up in 1986/87
- and that was in 42 games too!

- 42 home League points
- that equals our Prem record, achieved last season
- and it's the best since 1989/90 when we managed 45

- 61 goals scored in the Premier League
- that's our best since the 64 we reached in 1995/96

- 38 home League goals scored
- that's our best ever Prem total, beating the 36 we scored at Goodison in 1999/00
- and it's the most since the 40 we notched at Goodison in 1989/90

- 16 goals in all competitions for Romelu Lukaku
- that's the best since Yakubu's 21 in 2007/08

- 15 League goals for Rom
- that equals the Yak's total in 2007/08
- and is the most since Andrei Kanchelskis hit 16 in 1995/96
- it also takes Rom level with Wayne Rooney in 23rd place on our All-Time Prem Scorers' chart

- 15 clean sheets in the League
- that equals our 2nd best ever haul in the Premier League
- the best we've ever achieved is 17 Prem clean sheets, back in 2008/09

- an average home League attendance of 37,732
- that's up on last season's 36,356 and our highest since 2003/04 when we averaged 38,837

- not a bad first campaign under Roberto Martinez's guidance, then!
- in fact, Roberto finishes his first season on top of our All-Time Managers' Ranking chart!

- James McCarthy scored his first goal for Everton in the Hull game!
- that means we can now remove him from our Most Prem Starts Without Scoring Chart
- prior to Hull he'd gone 33 Prem outings for us (30 starts + 3 as a sub) without a goal

- not including own goals, James is the 497th different player to score for us in our history
- and he's the 488th in the League and the 114th in the Premier League

- congratulations to Lacina Traore on his League debut for us at Hull
- he's the 847th person to play for us in our League history, the 187th in the Premier League

- Leon Osman meanwhile made his 388th appearance for us in all competitions
- that puts him level with Colin Harvey in 16th place on our All-Time Appearances chart
- Tim Howard is in 22nd place with 347 games and Leighton Baines is 44th with 281

- in terms of just League appearances, Ossie is now up to 322 for us
- that's the same as Graeme Sharp made for the club
- they're both in joint 15th place on our All-Time League Appearances chart
- looking at the 14 players above them, Ossie is in very exalted company!

- Ossie also ended the season as the only player to feature in all of our League games
- that was made up of 27 starts and 11 sub appearances

- he's only the 10th player to do that for us in the Premier League era
- the others were:
- Southall (93/94 and 95/96), Myhre (98/99), Kilbane (04/05), Carsley (06/07)
- Lescott (06/07 and 07/08), Yobo (06/07), Howard (08/09, 09/10, 10/11 and 11/12)
- Baines (10/11 and 12/13) and Distin (10/11)

- Tim Howard kept his 116th clean sheet in all competitions for us at Hull
- he's in 4th place on our All-Time Clean Sheets chart
- Tim's just 4 behind the legendary trio of Ted Sagar, Gordon West and Neville Southall

- and, finally, the All-Time League Tables section has been updated!
- it now takes into account the season just ended
- take a look at where we now sit in the All-Time Prem Table and the All-Time Top Flight Tables

- and that's that!

- thanks for dipping in throughout the season and for all the nice comments
- I'll be back in August!
