Everton wins the merseyside derby first time in 22 years.

Everton today...

End a 20 game run without a League win v Liverpool, longest run by either side in this fixture, End record run of 20 games without a League win at Liverpool, Equal club’s best unbeaten away run in PL, 8 games

What a team performance from Everton! The stand out was Pickford who made some amazing saves! Everton finally get their first win at Anfield since 1999.

Whereas, Liverpool have one point less after 25 Premier League games than David Moyes had in his one season at Manchester United. They've had a brilliant three seasons, and there's caveats, but it's an incredible and compelling decline.

Liverpool lost four consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since 2002. An early Richarlison goal and Gylfi Sigurdsson’s second-half penalty ended a wretched run for the Toffees at Liverpool’s home, winning at Anfield for the first time since September 1999.

The result also brings up an embarrassing stat for the champions, who have lost four league home matches for the first time since 1923. It puts Everton level on points with Liverpool and Ancelotti’s men have played a match less.

Sloppy Liverpool created many chances but were thwarted by the likes of Jordan Pickford and Michael Keane.

They’ll also be sweating on the fitness of Jordan Henderson, who hobbled off in the first half holding both his hamstrings and groin on a night where just about everything that could have gone wrong for Liverpool did.

But full marks must go to Everton, who set up perfectly with talkSPORT’s Sam Matterface labelling it a ‘tactical victory’ for Ancelotti. Ancelotti will be full of praise for his players though, particularly Pickford, who made a number of great saves, including a Henderson volley in the first half and a close range effort to deny Mohamed Salah in the second.Pickford’s opposite number Alisson kept out a point-blank header from Seamus Coleman but could do nothing about Richarlison’s opener.
