The Merseyside in England exploded Thursday night after Everton pulled off a massive comeback against Crystal Place to avoid relegation from the Premier League as fans rushed the pitch while the game was still going on.

The Toffees were down 2-0 to the Eagles in the first half before coach Frank Lampard rallied his troops at halftime to stage a dramatic three-goal comeback to avoid relegation heading into the final week.

Michael Keane and Richarlison got the party started for Everton in the second half before their No.9, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, fired home a header in the 85th minute, sending Goodison Park into pandemonium.

Watch as the Merseyside faithful rush the pitch in the middle of the match.

If you thought that celebration was wild, wait until you see the aftermath as once the final whistle was blown Goodison Park devolved into chaos once again, securing top flight soccer for another season.

Listen to the fans as they hug their favorite players and embrace in each other’s arms while singing songs of the club — this is what sports are all about.

Everton has only been relegated twice since their formation in 1878, keeping alive a more than 60-year-old streak of top-flight soccer for Everton.

It may not be a trophy but after one of the most tumultuous seasons in Everton’s recent history, the Merseyside will surely be singing into the night.
