The 36-year-old centre back received a rousing ovation from the home supporters as he was sent on in stoppage-time to help Everton claim their eighth clean sheet in 10 league matches.

When asked if this was his farewell game at Goodison Park, Jagielka said: "The answer to that will probably come in the next 10 days. I hope not, but obviously there is a possibility it could be.

"Time will tell and if not I will plod on and go and find somewhere else to go and play football.

"I look back and there have been some great moments. Hopefully, there are some to continue but if there aren't then I can't complain. I'll continue to play football for as long as I can."
