Jürgen Klopp apologised for Liverpool‘s first Merseyside derby defeat at Everton in 14 years and admitted his team need ‘a crisis’ to unfold at Arsenal and Manchester City to remain in the Premier League title race. Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin soured the Reds’ title challenge as the hosts powered their way to a priceless 2-0 derby victory at Goodison Park.
After the match the Liverpool manager felt ‘very disappointed, frustrated’ and summed the game up by saying ‘It wasn’t good enough. We played the game that Everton wanted.’
