0-2! Liverpool lost away to Everton, a defeat that cost Liverpool not just three points, but also a title hope. Now they have two games in hand, just one point ahead of Manchester City. Even if Arsenal drops the chain later, Liverpool has little chance of winning the championship.
In this game, Everton performed quite bravely, and they used their physical advantage to bombard Liverpool's penalty area indiscriminately from the beginning. After squandering a couple of chances, Branwest slotted home to break the deadlock for Everton.
In the second half, Liverpool continued to sleepwalk, Everton corner kick into the box, Calvert-Lewin easily jumped, and finally headed the ball into the goal, and the score was also locked at 2-0.
After conceding two goals in a row, Liverpool began to gradually get into the groove, but unfortunately they had many shots on goal after that, but they couldn't score, and finally had to upset on the road and suffered a complete defeat. Prior to that, Liverpool had not lost to Everton away for 14 years, and on this night, they finally lost. This defeat also buried their hopes of winning the championship.
As of now, Liverpool are three points behind Arsenal and have a goal difference of only 41, the fewest among the top three in the title race, and in such a situation, Liverpool will definitely need a miracle if they can win the title. If Liverpool can finally turn the tables, then the two Spanish coaches of Arsenal and Manchester City may have to resign and apologize.
After the game, Everton was reveling at home, while the Liverpool players were lost on the pitch, their eyes were lifeless, and they could be said to be walking corpses, with no hope in sight.
As for manager Jurgen Klopp, after the opponent scored the second goal, he was left with only a giggle on the sidelines. The German coach is likely to end his Liverpool coaching career with a failed season. This season, Liverpool have been out of the FA Cup and Europa League, and now the league is close to losing the title, and this result has a lot to do with Klopp's blind trust in Salah.
In this derby, Salah started again, and as a result, the Egyptian superstar wasted many chances on the field. Before the end of the first half, Nunez played the ball for Salah, but he missed two shots on goal, the first shot, Salah missed, and then made up for it himself, and flew directly out of the bottom line.
Seeing his mistake, Salah also looked embarrassed. In fact, Salah's slump in form in recent months has had a huge impact on Liverpool. But even so, Klopp still insisted that he play the main team. Jurgen Klopp, who has always been shrewd, trusted Salah again and again, and finally found that he was wrong. It's a pity that in this world, there is no regret medicine, and Klopp can only pay a painful price for his persistence, that is, to lose the Premier League championship!
