Southampton deprives Everton of being alone in the Premier League, Liverpool is the beneficiary

Everton missed the opportunity to lead the Premier League table after losing 2-0 to Southampton in the sixth round of the competition.

Everton, who suffered its first loss in the competition this season, froze at 13 points, but remained at the top, on goal difference only in front of the closest stalkers to arch-neighbor Liverpool (the title holder), equal to him in the same balance.

On the other hand, Southampton, who won his third victory in the last four matches of the competition, increased to ten points, to advance to fifth place temporarily until the end of the rest of the stage matches.

James Ward opened the scoring for Southampton in the 27th minute, before Che Adams added the second goal in the 35th minute.

Everton's suffering doubled during the match, after he had to play with ten players after his player Lucas Dini was sent off in the 71st minute, to fail to reduce the difference at least during the remaining minutes of the match, and to fail to win the second match in a row, after falling into a 2/2 draw with Guest of Liverpool in the last stage during the derby (Merseyside).
