Liverpool clashed heads with Everton at Goodison Park earlier tonight as they looked to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Reds made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 27th minute when Jarrad Branthwaite found the back of the net. The visitors went into the half-time break 1-0 down on the scoreline.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin put daylight between the two sides when he scored in the 58th minute. The contest ended with Jurgen Klopp‘s men suffering a disappointing 2-0 loss in the Merseyside derby.
