“Obviously, for me, this is a big club.
“I think about Everton’s history and what they’ve done over the years and how they’ve always been in the Premier League and fanbase.
“It’s a big club, you know, and for me, I wanted to come here and enjoy football and play and have fun every day.
“Maybe over the last few years I’ve fallen from love and fallen from love, but I haven’t enjoyed playing football as much as I would have liked.
“My family told me that when I was home.
“I totally love soccer, and I want to have that feeling again.
“When you wake up on a match day and can’t wait to get out there, you know how it feels. That’s how I felt today.”
Grealish’s Low Cross found an Ndiaye in the box for Everton’s first competitive goal at the new stadium in the first half.
The forward’s second assist came in the 52nd minute when he placed the ball on Garner.
Capturing Everton’s first home Premier League match away from Goodison Park was a great way to cap, and it was revealed to Grail that Toffee fans wanted to be a day to remember.
“It was incredibly good,” he added.
“Maybe there was some nerves from people at first.
“Once I reached my initial goal, it was great and I loved it every minute.
“It was a great day. We wanted to hold our first game in the Premier League and make it a special game for our fans, ourselves and the football club.
“We won 2-0 and the stadium was bounced back. It’s not much better than that.”
