Liverpool took another step closer to matching a record 20th English league title with a Merseyside derby win over Everton on Wednesday night.
Everton striker Beto had a goal disallowed for offside during a lively first half, before hitting the post after a one-on-one with Caoimhin Kelleher. Toffees captain James Tarkowski also narrowly escaped a red card for a reckless challenge on Alexis Mac Allister.
While Everton dominated the opening 45 minutes, Liverpool capitalized on their opportunity in the second half when Luis Diaz’s smart flick set up Diogo Jota, whose quick footwork in the box saw him score the game’s only goal just under an hour in.
