"The first half was decent, but the second half wasn't as good," Moyes said. He praised the new stadium, saying it was a great venue that would attract top teams and players in the future.

Moyes also expressed his happiness about the stadium's impact on the club. "It's brilliant for the football club," he said. "It's a wonderful stadium, a step up from Goodison, and a real positive step for Everton Football Club."

On the debut of young player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Moyes added, "I thought Kiernan did well. He showed some quality and I'm pleased with his performance."
