Liverpool make surprise statement as arch-rivals Everton say emotional farewell to Goodison Park

Liverpool and Everton may be fierce local rivals but the Reds made it clear there is still plenty of respect there as they made a statement ahead of the final men's game at Goodison Park.

The stadium will become the permanent ground for Everton's women's team as the men's side move across to their newly built Hill Dickinson Stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock.

Sunday's clash with Southampton brought the curtain down on 133 years of history and Liverpool took to social media to acknowledge the occasion hours before kick-off.

'An historic stadium, a place where we have fought against one another and stood with each other,' the club wrote alongside a black-and-white photo taken after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.
