Everton dent Liverpool title bid
Liverpool missed the chance to return to the top of the Premier League as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Merseyside rivals Everton at Goodison Park.
Only a victory would have seen Jurgen Klopp’s side reclaim top spot from Manchester City after their win at Bournemouth, but the Reds came up short against a stubborn Everton side who took great pride in halting their neighbours’ title challenge.
Mohamed Salah had two clear opportunities to send Liverpool back to the summit but his touch in front of goal was characteristic of a game lacking real attacking quality.
Liverpool stay second, a point behind champions City with nine games remaining. Everton, who are now without a win against their rivals in 19 games in all competitions, remain in 10th position.
