Garth Crooks raves about Everton defender Michael Keane

Popular football pundit Garth Crooks has showered praise on Everton defender Michael Keane in his column for BBC Sport.

Everton produced a memorable Merseyside derby performance to beat Liverpool at Anfield for the first time since 1999.

Keane was simply outstanding for the Toffees as they won 2-0 at Anfield, while Liverpool have now lost four successive home matches for the first time since 1923.

Goals from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson earned all three points for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but it’s the strong solid defensive performances – especially of Keane and Ben Godfrey – that made the difference between the two sides.
