This is how we live it: the game, live
If the
Merseyside
derby is
always interesting, it took on more headlines than any in recent years.
Everton and Liverpool
met at
Goodison Park
to defend the leadership, the premises, and to storm the first place the visitors.
Two of the best teams in these first weeks of the
Premier League
, face to face.
And the game did not disappoint.
With little time to set marks and enter the duel,
Sadio Mané
advanced to the 'reds' after a good combination between
Firmino and Salah
, which ended in a pass to
Robertson
who, once his mark was exceeded, assisted the Senegalese to put the 0-1.
Good news for
Klopp
followed by the worst
news
of the game:
Virgil Van Dijk's
injury
.
The Dutch center-back tried to finish off a cross when he came face-to-face with the legs (and studs, and all) of goalkeeper
Pickford
in a wild start.
The English goalkeeper stared at the defender while the doctors treated him, aware of the mistake made and aware of the more than possible serious injury to the Dutchman on his knee.
Another Everton
In another time, being behind on the scoreboard against Liverpool could undermine their morale, but this Everton is different.
Carlo Ancelotti
has convinced his players, he has given them confidence and, above all, he has given them reasons to score points.
One of them is
James Rodríguez
.
The other,
Calvert-Lewin
.
The Colombian put a measured center in front of Keane, who, taking advantage of Van Dijk's absence, headed the ball into the net.
The Spanish Adrián San Miguel, lazy with his hands, could not help it.
The goal settled Everton and put some doubts in the Liverpool defense, which suffered from the rivals.
Despite everything, the 'reds' accumulated more talent in attack and their arrivals were more dangerous than those of their rival.
Already in the second half, an error by
Yerry Mina
in the clearance of an
Alexander-Arnold
cross
reached
Salah's
boots
, who did not think about it and hit the volley to the back of the net.
And again: reaction from Everton.
Far from collapsing, a Lucas Digne cross resulted in a massive
Calvert-Lewin
jump
to head for goal.
It is the English attacker's seventh goal in just five games, the top
scorer in the competition
.
The 2-2 did not relax spirits, quite the opposite.
He empowered and motivated the footballers.
Maybe too much.
Richarlison
was one of those who perhaps should have
slowed
down: in an attempt to take the ball against
Thiago Alcántara
, he arrived late and ended up with his studs hitting the leg of the Spanish midfielder, who bent his knee in a dangerous action that he finally did not have. consequences.
The Brazilian forward was sent off and Everton had to fight with one less for the remainder of the game.
At the last gasp, the
VAR
.
A good pass from Thiago to Mané freed the Senegalese to make a back pass to
Henderson
, who first and with his left foot finished off for the victory 'red'.
The Liverpool captain celebrated, Klopp celebrated, everyone celebrated ... But the VAR appeared.
The referees of the room drew a more than rigorous line between Mané and the defense to decree offside in the previous pass to 2-3.
Result tables, and because there was no time for more
.
