2000–01 Everton F.C. Season
During the 2000–01 season, Everton competed in the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Football League Cup. Season summary The 2000–01 season saw a major step back for Everton and the club once again fell into a relegation battle, not helped by long-term injuries to several key players.
