Everton earned their first win at Liverpool's Anfield since 1999, after crushed the troubled Premiere League Champion 2-0 in the Merseyside derby today.

Richarlison's early opener and Gylfi Sigurdsson's late penalty gave the Toffees a first win at the Home of Liverpool.  After a run of 68 league games unbeaten at Anfield, injury-ravaged Liverpool have lost their last four on home turf for the first time since 1923.

"I'm very pleased for the club and the supporters. I hope for sure that they are going to celebrate tonight," said Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Liverpool have won just two of their last 11 league games to leave them in grave danger of missing out on Champions League football for the first time since Jurgen Klopp's first season in charge five years ago.

The Reds are languishing in sixth place and would be five points adrift of the top four if West Ham beat Tottenham on Sunday.

"The first goal which we have to defend better gave the direction of the game. It was unnecessary," said Klopp. "We had to chase the game and were not calm enough."

The sting from defeat in the 238th Merseyside derby will linger even longer given it was a bad tackle from Everton keeper Jordan Pickford in their meeting earlier this season that left Virgil van Dijk sidelined ever since with a serious knee injury. 






Whats up, have a great day !

With the return of international fixtures scheduled for next month, the guidance also says that any individuals selected to represent their countries must remain strictly to their sporting bubble to avoid any extended periods of isolation when they return. As things stand, ...
