The Reds score a point in the Merseyside derby. Despite the importance of this match, the result is quite secondary: Virgil van Dijk and Thiago Alcantara were probably more seriously injured by Ancelotti’s team, let’s hope for the best!
Kloppo was finally able to tap into all the resources before the game started: Thiago and Mané had cured their crown infection and were able to play in this important game. Matip also celebrated his comeback!
Reds start out like the fire department
We had wondered beforehand how the Reds would cope with the embarrassment of the Aston Villa game and if they would react. Clear answer: yes! Liverpool practically played with a knife between their teeth and played Everton squarely against the wall. In the third minute, Sadio Mané took advantage of the first opportunity and made it 1-0 for Liverpool. BOOM!
The Reds stayed on the trigger, but then the unthinkable happened: Everton goalkeeper Pickford Virgil van Dijk jumped badly against his leg and Liverpool’s No. 4 was injured. After a long treatment, the sad certainty: the game was over for van Dijk. Sadly, there was no card for the culprit and no penalty, as van Dijk was allegedly offside previously, according to the VAR.
Visibly shocked, something broke in Liverpool and Everton were more on the trigger. After an unnecessary corner, Keane tied before the break.
The top scorers are in the second half two
In the second half, Liverpool were a bit more defensive and let Everton run around a bit. So Everton were clearly overwhelmed and couldn’t really create clear scoring opportunities and the game got shaken with some half chances.
In the 72nd minute the English champions took the lead again: after a failed defensive action by Mina, the ball fell at Salah’s feet in the 16th minute, he could not be asked twice and sank the leather with a direct descent in the far corner. It was Mo Salah’s 100th goal in the Liverpool jersey in game 159. Incomprehensible!
Pickford scraped a Matip header off the line shortly after, keeping the game open. With the next chance to score, Everton’s top scorer Calvert-Lewin also scored the new tie for Everton with his seventh goal of the season.
Shortly before the end of the game, things got turbulent: a completely insane foul by Richarlison on Thiago was justly called red by referee Oliver. Unfortunately, Thiago also suffered a knee injury.
In injury time, the VAR had its big appearance: after Henderson’s supposed 3-2, the VAR found a supposed offside in the shot and the goal was denied. A very questionable decision!
