A ray of hope for Toffees fans though…they finished eighth that season!

Listen back to full match commentaries on BBC Sounds:
Everton captain James Tarkowski has been speaking to Sky Sports following the defeat: "I could stand here and make excuses about injuries. There is more to it than that. We gifted them a couple of goals.
"Jordan [Pickford] has been our player of the season for many years. Everyone makes mistakes - me more than most.
"We want everyone fit. We had a good line-up out there today. We have got to perform on the pitch. We have to stop conceding goals and start scoring. We are trying to be hard to beat.
"I have been here a couple of years now. We have been through many tests. This is another test. We need to get through it."
Everton boss Sean Dyche has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day following the heavy defeat: "Two back-to-back tough games. We had two mistakes last week, one mistake this week.
"Tottenham are a team of goalscorers, all over the pitch. We didn't have enough. We are stretched but that is no excuse. I expect a lot from these players, but there are a lot of challenges here.
"We are working within the guidelines that we can. We expect more. We have been written off many times before and we will be written off again. We have come through it before."
When asked if he was confident that no more players will be leaving before the transfer deadline, Dyche added: "It is shifting sands at this football club."

In fairness, the majority who stayed applauded their players back, which might simply be an acknowledgement that they hardly have the quality to play at this level in the 2024-25 season.
Even Sean Dyche simply stood there in acceptance of a heavy 4-0 defeat, not ranting or raving at his players as they were well-beaten by a slick Spurs side.
Tottenham did a lap of honour to celebrate their win, in what was their first home game of the season.
And former Toffees striker Richarlison offered his match-worn shirt to a young Everton fan.

Image source, Getty ImagesNineteen-year-old defender Roman Dixon deserves some praise for his Everton debut.
He is coming out of it having won a fair few one-on-one duels versus Wilson Odobert and Son Heung-min.
It has been a real baptism of fire, without any protection in front of him, but he can hold his head high.
It is understood that he may still go on loan before deadline day, but this performance might have given manager Sean Dyche food for thought, after he stepped in as an enforced change with Ashley Young suspended.

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.
For week two, he takes on Make Me A Mixtape hosts Clara Amfo and Jordan Stephens.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Spurs could have been eight up at half-time against Leicester but didn't take the chances and that will have been a bit of a sickener - it will have felt like a defeat.
There are high hopes for Ange Postecoglou in his second season and they made great progress last year.
Everton played well for the first 20 minutes against Brighton and are a team who will sit and frustrate the life out of Tottenham and then counter.
They ran Tottenham close last season but I will say Spurs at home, in front of their own fans, need to be more clinical and will be.
Amfo's prediction: 2-1
Stephens' prediction: 3-0
I want to say 17-0 to Everton but I've gone for a Tottenham win, which makes me feel a bit sick. I do think Dominic Solanke is a really good signing for them though.
This season, English top-flight clubs are trialling a new financial system that limits spending based on the earnings of the bottom side, designed to "protect the competitive balance of the Premier League".
Football finance expert Rob Wilson tells The Football News Show why, if permanently introduced, it could make the top Premier League sides less competitive against their European counterparts.

Image source, Getty ImagesEverton fan Peter MacFarlane from The Blue Room podcast has been speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside about the latest developments in the club's takeover saga.
Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor said he will turn his efforts to selling his 45% stake in Palace "so that we can pursue a relationship with the Everton club and community".
This is after he tried "everything possible" to buy the remaining shares in Palace, but he said his bid did not receive a response.
"I think it's just typical of Everton Football Club at the minute to be honest with you," said MacFarlane. "It never seems to be simple.
"You see other takeovers happen and they tend to happen on the quiet behind closed doors. With Everton it seems to be the opposite and everything seems to play out in the media and very publicly.
"Obviously we're still licking our wounds from the goings on with 777. That was a situation I think every Evertonian can agree that we were all so worried about but they still seem to have some sort of cloud hanging over them with the loans they gave to the club.
"I think we just want this to be resolved one way or another, for the football club to move on with the new stadium opening up next season, with all of the financial constraints we are under, with all the PSR calculations and everything from last season.
"We just need a resolution now and if Textor can get this over the line, I think we just have to back him.
"It's not a simple task given that he has to somehow sell his shares in Palace as well just to then move forward with this purchase of Everton."

The 37-year-old has signed a one-year contract until June 2025, having previously been with the club between 2021 and 2023.
The Bosnia-Herzegovina international made 10 appearances during his first spell on Merseyside and will now add experienced back-up to number one keeper Jordan Pickford.
"I'm delighted to be back," Begovic told club media. "It was an easy decision when the call came. I had two really good years here before and built special relationships with the staff and players.
"Everton has a way of leaving an imprint on you. The relationship I have with people here, how special the club is, the amazing fanbase, and with it being such a significant last season at Goodison means it's a great time to be at the club.
"I want to help be a leader, set standards, be a pro every single day and pass on my experience. I can't wait to be a part of it again and help the club any way I can."
Everton director of football Kevin Thelwell added: "We obviously know Asmir very well from his previous time with us at the club, and his long standing as an excellent goalkeeper was underlined by him being first-choice at QPR last season.
"Asmir is a top-class professional and, as well as given us experienced back-up for Jordan, his attitude and commitment will again be invaluable for our crop of younger goalkeepers to learn from.
"His return also gives an opportunity for some of our young keepers to go out on loan and gain valuable experience for their development."
Image source, Everton FCEverton have released their 2024-25 third kit inspired by an exhibition baseball game hosted at Goodison Park 100 years ago between the Chicago White Sox and the New York Giants.
The shirt's colour and pinstripe style "lend from a classic baseball look" and to mark the launch Everton players modelled the kit alongside vintage baseball paraphernalia.
Tom Beahon, co-founder of kit provider Castore, said: "We have used Goodison as our inspiration for all three of this season's kits.
"This kit is about acknowledging Goodison's versatility and the stage it has provided over more than 130 years.
"We wanted to remind people that it has not only hosted the great Everton teams of decades gone by but been a part of the wider sporting fabric and story."
Everton boss Sean Dyche has been discussing the club's latest injury issues as the Toffees prepare to face Tottenham on Saturday, and speaks about why it is important to make sure young players, when given the opportunity, are ready for the demands of top-level football.
