Liverpool have craved a 19th league title for 30 years plus one global pandemic-imposed lockdown, so what’s a few more days? Jürgen Klopp’s Premier League champions-elect were denied the victory that would have put them on the brink of a coronation by an impressive Everton defensive display and the refusal of Carlo Ancelotti’s players to yield.
But for a Tom Davies shot that struck the inside of Alisson’s post in the 80th minute Liverpool would have been condemned to only their second league defeat of the season and first derby reverse in 10 years. The league leaders dominated possession but understandably lacked their usual finesse in the final third.
