On Tuesday afternoon, Everton defeated Port Vale 2-1 in their friendly played behind closed doors at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
With their first preseason victory over the Valiants, the Toffees got off to a strong start in their new venue.
Everton gave up the opening goal of the match, but Carlos Alcaraz's first-time goal from outside the box gave them the equaliser.
By being the first Everton men's player to score at the team's cutting-edge stadium, the Argentine created history.
Then, with a fantastic long-range free kick, James Garner gave Everton the victory.
Demarai Grey and Lee Trundle were among the many admirers and peers who responded to Garner's worldie on social media.

For the Premier League Summer Series, Everton will now travel to the United States.

Garner will have a respectable resale value at the age of 24, so the Toffees won't want to let him go for nothing next summer.
