Liverpool edged closer to the Premier League title with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday. The match was a rollercoaster for fans as Diogo Jota finally ended his two-month goal drought with a decisive strike in the 57th minute, following a slick flick from Luis Diaz. ⚽
The win was especially sweet after Liverpool's stormy 2-2 draw with Everton in February, which had left fans on the edge of their seats with a last-minute equaliser. Even though Everton's David Moyes argued that Jota's goal was offside, manager Arne Slot was quick to defend the decision: "According to the rules it was a goal so no-one can complain. It is a clear goal."
With just eight games remaining, Liverpool now sit 12 points clear of second-placed Arsenal, fueling hopes for a record-equalling 20th English title – their first since 2020.
Meanwhile, Manchester City continued their impressive campaign by beating Leicester 2-0 in a game played without Haaland. The victory not only bolsters their bid for a top Champions League spot but also shows the team's depth and resilience, keeping their eyes firmly on upcoming challenges. 🔥
