Nothing tastes sweeter than a last-minute winner in the derby, especially when it’s the first one at their new place. Virgil van Dijk, you absolute giant!
The atmosphere at the Hill Dickinson Stadium was hostile, and for a second there, it looked like Everton might actually have something to celebrate when Ndiaye found the net.
But VAR did its job—offside is offside—and we went straight down the other end to show them how it’s done. Cody Gakpo’s vision was world-class, threading that ball through for Mohamed Salah to slot home. Nine goals for Mo against that lot now. He just loves silencing them.
We let them back in after the break when Beto scrambled one past Giorgi Mamardashvili, who we unfortunately lost to injury shortly after, and it turned into the usual scrappy, nervous affair.
But it wasn’t over yet. Deep, deep into stoppage time, the 100th minute in fact, Van Dijk rose above everyone to thump home Dominik Szoboszlai’s corner.
New stadium, same old story. Liverpool are the still the kings of the Merseyside, and three massive points are coming back to Anfield. Champions League, here we come!
