Moment: Gesundheit - Klopp recalls teammates blessings

Everton claimed their first win over Liverpool at Goodison Park since 2010 as they dealt Jurgen Klopp’s side a major blow in the title race and all but secured their Premier League status in a frantic Merseyside derby.

Liverpool could not deal with Everton’s aerial bombardment as goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and an inspired Dominic Calvert-Lewin lifted Sean Dyche’s side to just their second win over the Reds in 14 years.

The result was catastrophic for Liverpool’s title hopes, with Klopp’s side now three points behind Arsenal with four games to go. Manchester City would go five points clear of Liverpool should they win their two games in hand.

Everton made a blistering start and took a deserved lead midway through the first half when Branthwaite scrambled in after Liverpool failed to clear their box following a set-piece.

Liverpool responded but Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah wasted promising opportunities before half-time, before Calvert-Lewin rose from a corner to powerfully nod in at the back post.

There would be no comeback as Everton celebrated a famous derby win and Liverpool looked to crash out of the title race. Follow live updates and reaction from Everton vs Liverpool in the Premier League

Everton 0-0 Liverpool

17 min: SAVE! Alisson has to make a smart save to deny Calvert-Lewin from close range!

Everton are capitalising on these set-pieces so far and really putting the pressure on the title-contenders.

Everton 0-0 Liverpool

15 min: Everton have another free kick, this time a foul by Jones.

They don’t look comfortable when Everton get forward and have so far not put their own mark on the game.

Everton 0-0 Liverpool

7 min: There will be no penalty because of an offside, VAR has ruled. Alisson’s yellow card has also been ruled out.

An early let off for those in red.

Everton 0-0 Liverpool

6 min: VAR checking the offside in the build up, there was no doubt about the penalty, Alisson hesitates and brings him down.

But was Calvert-Lewin offside when the ball was played, the lines are going to be drawn.

Everton 0-0 Liverpool

5 min: PENALTY! Alisson has been judged to have brought down Calvert-Lewin and the referee has pointed to the spot.

There will be an offside check however...

3 min: Doucoure goes inches wide! Liverpool were struggling to clear the ball, Konate had a chance to head it clear but a deflected cross takes it into the path of Doucoure who scuffs it wide.
