Everton's impressive performance at Goodison Park has dealt a significant blow to Liverpool's Premier League title hopes. The Toffees secured a crucial 2-0 victory, ending Liverpool's unbeaten run at their home ground and severely damaging their chances of catching Manchester City at the top of the table.
Everton started the match brightly and were rewarded for their early pressure when Demarai Gray fired them into the lead in the 12th minute. Liverpool struggled to respond and Everton doubled their advantage just before half-time through Anthony Gordon's clinical finish.
Jurgen Klopp's side came out more determined in the second half, but they were unable to break down Everton's resilient defense. The Toffees defended resolutely and frustrated Liverpool's attacking threats. As the match wore on, Liverpool's hopes of a comeback faded, and the final whistle confirmed a deserved victory for Everton.
This result leaves Liverpool seven points behind defending champions Manchester City with just six games remaining. The Reds' title hopes are now hanging by a thread, and they will need to win all their remaining matches and hope that City slip up to have any chance of lifting the trophy.
For Everton, the victory was a major boost in their bid to finish in the top half of the table. The Toffees have now won four of their last five Premier League matches and are in ninth place, just three points behind Brighton & Hove Albion in eighth.
