35 h. ago Diogo Jota breaks down Everton’s blue wall as Liverpool move closer to title

The 246th Merseyside derby was as much of a cathartic release for Liverpool as another step closer to a 20th league title. Arne Slot’s side cleansed themselves of recent torment against Everton and two deflating cup defeats with a hard-fought but deserved victory courtesy of Diogo Jota’s fine individual goal. A maximum of 13 points is all that is required from the remaining eight games of the season to put the Premier League trophy on display at Anfield once again.There was a determination to seize control of the derby from the start by Liverpool and, unlike the previous two encounters at Goodison Park, a composure in possession that enabled them to do so. The painful Champions League exit and deserved Carabao Cup final defeat that preceded the international break, plus of course memories of their last run-in with Everton 49 days ago, may also have fuelled the hunger and intensity of a team closing in on the Premier League title.

6 d. ago Marco Silva has Fulham dreaming of Europe and their first major trophy

Fulham sold their best player in the summer but they keep getting better and have two routes to European football By WhoScoredMarco Silva had his work cut out for him at the start of the season. The Fulham manager could only watch on as João Palhinha, Tosin Adarabioyo and Willian left the club in the summer. Silva is no stranger to losing key players, having previously had to cope with the exits of Fábio Carvalho and Aleksandar Mitrovic. When Fulham lost their first game of the season, it looked like it could be a tough year for the club. But, with the end of the campaign looming, they are flying high in two competitions.The Premier League is likely to have five clubs in the Champions League next season and, as outlandish as it sounds, Fulham could be one of them. They are eighth in the table, just three points behind fifth-placed Manchester City. A place in the Europa League is more realistic, especially as they have two routes to the competition.
