Everton – Liverpool 2-0, Liverpool lost to Everton in the derby and their title hopes are fading

In addition to Arsenal, defending champions Manchester City, who are one point behind and have two games to spare, can get ahead of Liverpool.

Arsenal and Manchester City would have to have a very bad moment,” Klopp said of his team’s title prospects to the Sky Sports television station. “I can only apologize to the people for today. We should have managed it better, but they didn’t,” added the German coach.

“Everyone has to look in the mirror, look at their own performances, if they’ve given everything and they really want to win the league,” Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said. “Obviously there are still some games left, but if we play like we did today, we have no chance for the title.”

Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin secured Everton’s victory with their goals. Their team, who lost eight points due to a breach of financial rules, moved eight points clear of the relegation zone.

Thanks to two goals from captain Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United won 4:2 over last-placed Sheffield United and reached sixth place, which guarantees participation in the preliminary round of the Conference League. Sheffield can be relegated as early as this weekend.
