19 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 Arsenal fans had come to see Bukayo Saka and when he took off his tracksuit, primed to enter as a 66th-minute substitute, red shirt vividly lighting the scene, it is fair to say there was a reaction. It was mainly a release. The three months without Saka have been hard, Arsenal’s Premier League title challenge slipping away.There was certainly a script there to be written and, Saka being Saka, he grabbed the pen and set to work. Arsenal have an incredible home record in the league against Fulham – 24 wins, seven draws and no defeats before this. They were on their way to another victory thanks to a Mikel Merino goal on 37 minutes, the latest return from the club’s makeshift No 9. Continue reading...
