Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jarrad Branthwaite's goals clinched a win for Everton, marking their first triumph over the Merseyside Reds at home since 2010.


In a dramatic Merseyside derby, Everton delivered a potentially fatal blow to Liverpool’s title hopes with a Super-b 2-0 at Goodison Park. The Toffees, who hadn’t won a home Merseyside derby since 2010, rose to the occasion and physically dominated Liverpool. Goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, both from set-pieces, secured the victory for Everton. This result leaves the Premier League title race as a two horse battle between Arsenal and Manchester City. Liverpool trails the Gunners by three points and holds just a one-point lead over Pep Guardiola’s side, despite having played two more games. Everton’s victory almost certainly ensures that Merseyside derbies will continue to feature on the Premier League fixture list next season.
