The Toffees’ first New Year’s Day fixture in the Football League era was during our first championship-winning season. 1 January 1891 saw a 5-0 home defeat of Aston Villa. Edgar Chadwick was a scorer.
1985 - Everton 2-1 Luton Town. A third win in a row for the Blues as their good festive form continued. 2 goals from Trevor Steven started off 1985 great for EFC.
