Reaction to Everton 2-0 Liverpool; Wednesday's Premier League games, plus build-up to Thursday's match between Brighton and Manchester City.
Everton eight points clear of relegation zone with four games to goStat: Sheffield United's 92 goals conceded is a new record for a 38-game Premier League seasonLatest: Liverpool's interest in Feyenoord manager Arne SlotPlus: Premier League news conferences - Burnley & BrentfordLiverpool lost this title the moment they had two key players leave in Firmino & Mane - two outstanding players who scored and assisted goals in abundance.
Last night against Everton the simple option evaded Nunez once again and what should have been an equaliser for Liverpool in a crucial Merseyside derby turned out to be a blasted shot straight at keeper Jordan Pickford. Cue the 'you're just a less good Andy Carroll' chant from fans inside Goodison Park.
Newcastle had just one shot on target though Isak could have done better when played through on the Palace goal in the first half. "I don't mean that as a criticism, I think they've done brilliantly well, but because it's Klopp's last season it almost felt like 'you've got to do this because this is the end'. If Klopp was staying for another two or three years, this would be seen as a great building block to build on.
The manager praised the forward before this match for his work rate and the manner in which his runs create space for the likes of Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise, but it is his finishing which has seen him go to a different level in recent weeks. Mateta's double - his 10th and 11th of the campaign - and Palace's third win a row books the club's place in the Premier League for another season. Relegation fears be gone.
“Seven goals in his last six league games, 10 Premier League goals this season – their top scorer, 15 goals in all competitions. He really is a proper player.”“Fernandes’ best quality, which all the top players have, is his bravery to continually try to create things for his team when others are hiding.
