Everton secured their first win in a Merseyside derby at Goodison Park since 2010 to leave Liverpool’s Premier League title aspirations in ruins after a 2-0 defeat on Wednesday.
Defeat leaves JURGEN KLOPP’s men still three points adrift of leaders Arsenal and only one point in front of defending champions Manchester City, who have two games in hand. Goals from JARRAD BRANTHWAITE and DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN took Everton eight points clear of the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, Manchester United captain BRUNO FERNANDES led from the front to ensure another chaotic performance eventually ended in victory against relegation-threatened Sheffield United at Old Trafford.
With the visitors taking the lead twice, ERIK TEN HAG’s side were staring at a humiliating loss to a side who have won just three times this season.
But FERNANDES levelled from the penalty spot before driving Manchester United in front from 25 yards nine minutes from time.
The Portuguese created a first goal since February for striker RASMUS HOJLUND four minutes later to move his side up to sixth spot and earn praise from his manager.
