Toffees Triumph in Hard-Fought Battle
Everton vs. Liverpool Match Report
Everton secured a vital 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the 244th Merseyside derby on Wednesday night, moving within three points of their city rivals in the Premier League standings.
The Toffees took the lead in the 21st minute through a stunning long-range strike from Alex Iwobi, who capitalized on a loose ball outside the Liverpool penalty area.
Liverpool, who won the reverse fixture 2-0 in September, dominated possession for much of the game but struggled to create clear-cut chances. The Reds were also frustrated by Everton's dogged defending, which kept them at bay for the majority of the match.
The victory marked Everton's first win over Liverpool in the Premier League since 2010 and extended their unbeaten run at home against their city rivals to three games.
