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 off the bench to double their lead from the spot in the closing stages.

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 sixth-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.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Idrissa Gueye was keeping an eye on the clash, and the former Everton star was more than delighted with the result, taking to Twitter to react.

Well done lads @Everton ! The town is Blue
