The Reds fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Blues in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. Goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin secured the three points for Everton - and handed Liverpool a disappointing defeat.

The result leaves the Reds in second place in the table and three points behind leaders Arsenal with just four fixtures left to play in Jurgen Klopp's final season at the club. Manchester City are in third place and just one point behind Liverpool with two games in hand.
