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.

Did Lionel Messi become football's second billionaire player in the world?

Yess, he is the 2nd football player to become billionaire after CR7, But he is now the highest earning athlete on the planet. Let's see what is his networth now and how it happened. Net worth : £309 million ($400m) Source of wealth: Football contracts, endorsement deals, investments Messi's net worth is estimated to be around as of 2020. These figures are speculative, though, especially as his business interests tend not to be widely publicised. Forbes ranked Messi 1st among athletes on their list of the top100 highest-earning celebrities of 2019, putting his income for the year at $127m (£98m), and fourth overall, making him the best-earning footballer and athlete in the world. He was $18m ahead of Ronaldo and $22m ahead of Neymar, the next athletes on the list. The Barcelona forward's latest salary package will certainly keep him among the richest active sportsmen on the planet over the next few years.

Does Koeman deserve another chance at BARCELONA?

Though i respect Koeman as a Barcelona Legend but for me Ronald koeman is simply not a coach Barca need at the moment, though he has done a great job by accepting a job at the worst time in the club's history, he has done a great job with the players he has, he does have a cule heart and is pretty much involved in the teams' dynamics intensely, took charge of club in their worst time in history while leaving his easier job at Netherland's national team is something everyone liked but he is not that great coach, which barca need at the moment. Starting a season with the worst record since Rijkaard era, but improving in the latter part of the season is great but it all came against weaker opponents, his tactics and game awareness lacks everytime he coach, his record against top 4 Spanish teams are even worst, shows his incompetency to compete tactically, worst record at camp nou has been produced during his tenure. Barcelona's results in La Liga against the o...

Match Analysis (Barca vs Bilbao) (1-1)-A Wakeup call

Playing vs Athletic in Bilbao is always a difficult task for Barça, and the game yesterday was no exception. However, it was an important wake-up call for Koeman and his players. Question is – Did he listen to the alarming sounds or will we see more games like this. It’s fair to say that Athletic Bilbao were the better team vs Barça, that failed to dominate the game. Moreover, the defense looked very bad. However, there were some good points to take from the game. Let’s start with them: Good Points Although it’s just the start of the season, the signing of Memphis Depay looks like a ‘Bingo’ so far. After Leo Messi left, Memphis quickly turned out as the main force in the Blaugrana attack. Yesterday it felt like he was there all alone trying to score and assist. Moreover, other players ruined good chances he created. And yes I’m talking about the awful miss of Braithwaite in the first minutes. The game could develop a lot different if he scored that goal. But overall great p...
