Idrissa Gueye reacts to Everton victory at Liverpool

Everton ended their Anfield jinx yesterday, handing Liverpool a 2-0 defeat to win a Merseyside derby away from home for the first time in 22 years.

Richarlison put the visitors ahead barely four minutes into the game, and Gylfi Sigurdsson came on from the bench to double their lead from the spot in the closing stages of the game.

Jordan Pickford was on hand to deny Liverpool with several fine saves, and manager Carlo Ancelotti will be dreaming of seeing Everton in Europe next season.

They are level on points with the 6th-placed Reds with a game in hand, and an impressive finish to the campaign will definitely give them a realistic chance of finishing in the top-six.
