Everton apply final blow to Liverpool title challenge
- With a noteworthy victory, Everton dealt a fatal blow to Liverpool’s title hopes, perhaps changing the course of the Premier League battle.
On a night of fervor and intensity at Goodison Park, which may have dealt the decisive blow to Liverpool’s Premier League title challenge, the cycle of misery that had kept Everton in its icy grip for so long was broken.
If Everton’s 2-0 victory over Liverpool at home in the Merseyside derby was reason enough to celebrate after their first victory since October 2010, they will also look back on the beautiful bonus of maybe causing irreversible damage to the opposition.
This much was evident as a lanky, lackluster Liverpool team hammered their heads against the formidable Everton defense and excellent goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, amid the taunts of “You Lost the League at Goodison Park” reverberating around the renowned old stadium.
It had been exactly 29 years to the night since what is arguably the most well-known event in Goodison Park’s history—the defeat of Bayern Munich in the European Cup Winners’ Cup semifinal.
Naturally, this victory pales in comparison to the significance of the evening that Everton supporters will cherish forever, while Liverpool will like to forget it. Should they succeed in doing so, there will be ample evidence of the royal blue persuasion willing to remind them.
Everton dominated Liverpool right from the start, cheering them on in an environment that may be hard to duplicate once they depart this stadium.
