The Merseyside derby started in the 90th minute. Until then, Liverpool and Everton had been parted ways out of turn, tension, pace and few occasions. A battle without rest. The ‘reds’ wanted but the toffees did not leave them.
Everything changed in the eight minutes of added time. In that period, with the pulsations overflowing and the tie planning on Goodison Park emerged Mané to set fire to Liverpool (0-1).
Klopp’s team had been looking for him without clarity until his rival opened in the epilogue. The ‘reds’ reach the Boxing Day second, six points behind Chelsea.
Liverpool have specialized in Everton. There are already 13 derbies without falling before their neighbors, six visits to blue territory without defeat.
From 2010 they do not surpass the toffees to the Pool. The Goodison Park fort fell for the first time this season. Sliding at Burnley and Bournemouth prevented Klopp’s team from approaching the top.
More regular than in the last courses, compete for the Premier. Or they try. At the moment, Chelsea does not give them ball.
