| Everton edged Liverpool 2-2 over the weekend |
Everton drew 2-2 at Liverpool at Goodison Park over the weekend. They held a series of 5 consecutive games undefeated with 4 wins to lead the Premier League.
Derby Merseyside also saw Everton get lucky. In injury time, Jordan Henderson shoved the ball into the opponent’s net, but before that, Sadio Mane was the passer and he fell into an offside position as determined by the VAR team.
It is also technology that deprives Liverpool of the penalty when they believe Van Dijk is offside before goalkeeper Jordan Pickford tackles the ball in the penalty area. Eventually Everton drew 2-2 to hold first place in the Premier League table and their neighbors came in third.
Ancelotti admitted that it is not the same
Carlo Ancelotti is satisfied with the performance of his team against Liverpool. However, the Italian coach still noticed a considerable difference in quality between the two sides. He said after the battle:

“I think we improved in the last game, we played well, in the right way. Of course it was very difficult and the results did not mean that we were at the same level as Liverpool.
“Reaching the same level as them is our goal. I think the time has come to start thinking that we can win instead of thinking that we can’t be in the derby like so many years. “
“I think the level we have at the moment is positive. We have shown that we can compete, but consistency is important. I hope the team maintains stability in both performance and mentality. “
On the night of October 25, Everton will return to the Premier League with a trip to Southampton in round 6.
