The 238th Merseyside Derby saw Everton run out 2-0 winners at the expense of Liverpool at Anfield yesterday, winning in the backyard of their bitter city rivals for the first time since 1999.

Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson got on the scoresheet to deal a further blow to the Reds’ chances of defending their Premier League title, with both teams now level on points.

Everton still have a game in hand, and Liverpool could find themselves outside of the European places should Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur win their outstanding games.

Saturday’s defeat was Liverpool’s fourth loss on a bounce at Anfield this term, and while that is not good news, the Reds and Everton both combined for a good cause ahead of the game.

They united in fighting food poverty as they urged both sets of fans all over the world to show their togetherness in the fight against food hunger in their respective regions.

This weekend’s 238th Merseyside Derby will see both clubs uniting in fighting food poverty.
