⚽️ MAYHEM in Merseyside

Sky Sports

What to know: While the second day of the Champions League marched on, the Premier League had itself a little bit of an UGLY scene in their lone match on the schedule.

The Merseyside derby, between Everton and Liverpool, was a back-and-forth battle from start to finish. It was high tension and absolute mayhem at times, but it wasn’t until the bitter end that things got really aggressive.

Everton captain James Tarkowski equalized the match in the 98th minute, earning Everton a very hard-fought match draw. The game ended in an ugly scene, with both fights getting into a big-time SCUFFLE! Abdoulaye Doucoure sparked the whole thing when he went over to the away Liverpool crowd and taunted them after the final whistle.

Both teams’ players got into a heated soccer version of a fight, which is basically a lot of pushing and shoving, a lot of talk, and not a lot of action. But there was plenty of juicy action to get the Everton crowd JUICED up. They started chanting, “Forever Everton”, and I’m sure there were many bumps of the goose variety throughout the stadium.

It was a perfect symbol of the two twos bitter history. Following yesterday’s match and 131 years of derbies, the teams are tied at 41 wins apiece and 38 draws. This was the last match at historic Goodison Park, as Everton will make their way to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock for the 2025-26 season.
