Seamus Coleman’s Goodison farewell disappointingly cut short after just 18 minutes

Seamus Coleman left the field early at Goodison Park

Seamus Coleman’s much-anticipated farewell at Goodison Park didn’t go as hoped with the Everton captain forced off early due to injury.

The Killybegs native appeared to pick up an ankle issue just 18 minutes into the fixture against Southampton - Everton’s final match at their historic ground before their move to their new stadium next season.

Although it was only his fifth Premier League outing of the campaign, Coleman was given a huge reception when his name was announced prior to kick-off. 

Unfortunately, his appearance was cut short when he signalled to the bench and was promptly substituted, heading straight down the tunnel while being replaced by Ashley Young.
