Liverpool recently won twice after three Premier League games without a win at the start of the season. But in the derby against Everton, coach Jürgen Klopp’s team missed two points again. It remains complicated.
Liverpool FC is not gaining momentum in the English Premier League. In the Merseyside derby at Everton, coach Jürgen Klopp’s team only managed a 0-0 draw. With the third draw after six game days, the Reds remain only in the middle of the table. Local rivals Everton are still waiting for their first win of the season.
Uruguayan €100m signing Darwin Núñez has returned to Klopp’s squad after his suspension has expired. But the hosts had the first chance: Everton professional Tom Davies hit the post with his outside instep (32nd minute). At the other end, England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford deflected an attempt by Núñez onto the crossbar. Immediately afterwards, Luis Díaz hit the ball against the post (41′).
After the change of sides, there were numerous chances for both sides. Everton’s Pickford made two saves from Roberto Firmino (64′) and then Fabinho (65′). Neal Maupay failed free-standing to Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson (65th). The Brazilian was also there against Dwight McNeil (84′).
It was only last Wednesday that Klopp was able to celebrate a late win deep in injury time: Fabio Carvalho scored against Newcastle United in the 98th minute to make it 2-1, but this time it wasn’t enough. Although there was still the last big chance: Mohamed Salah had the best chance of scoring the winning goal: But Pickford deflected the ball from the Liverpool striker again to the post (90 + 5). Both teams had already produced three aluminum goals in the first half.
