Buoyed by the loud cheering atmosphere at Goodison Park, Everton all but ended bitter rival Liverpool’s charge in the Premier League.
Liverpool, despite being only three points behind league leaders Arsenal, look to be out of the title race, considering their form in the last four matches, picking just four points out of a possible twelve.
Evertonians in the stadium taunted their rivals, chanting, “You Lost the League at Goodison Park,” a night Liverpool will always look back on.
The Toffees went at their opponents from the blast of the whistle for kick-off and ended the first half with the lead courtesy of Jarrad Branthwaite’s 27th-minute strike.
Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola must have been smiling when Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the goal that seems to put a stop to Jurgen Klopp’s attempt to win the league for the second time before he leaves at the end of the season.
For Sean Dyche and the Toffees, the Derby win helps to secure their survival in the league after an enduring points deduction, which easily could have derailed their season.
