#3 Everton 0-1 Liverpool
Trending
Derby games are always intense with everything at stake. This was the 227th Merseyside derby and Klopp’s first away derby game who looked to leave an impression by claiming all three points.
Liverpool, still missing their two main players in Coutinho and Matip, gained some momentum after thrashing Middlesbrough 3-0 in the previous match, while Everton were pumped-up after beating Arsenal and looked to beat their city rival for the first time in 7 years.
In a raucous Goodison atmosphere, both sides were trying to grab the upper hand. Everton dominated for first twenty minutes or so but lacked creativity and Liverpool were nowhere close to their best. The score remained all square at half time.
The second half saw Liverpool dominating from the start but were unlucky to not open the scoring.
Klopp remained patient and sent Sturridge on in the 82nd minute. He created one moment that will live long in the memory of Liverpool fans. Cutting inside in the 94th minute, he fired a low shot that beat Joe Robles and crashed onto the post, only for Sadio Mane to react first and bury the ball in the net.
