In a thrilling Merseyside derby, Everton emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over Liverpool at Goodison Park, marking their first home win against their rivals in 14 years.
Jarrad Branthwaite scored the opener in the first half, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin sealed the deal with a second goal after the break.
The win was a testament to Everton’s dominance and determination, as they outplayed and outfought Liverpool throughout the match.
This victory comes as a sweet revenge for Sean Dyche, who has faced intense criticism from the Goodison faithful at times this season.
Despite calls for his sacking after a 6-0 loss to Chelsea, Dyche has silenced his critics with three wins in the last four Premier League games.
A section of Everton fans have rallied behind Dyche, acknowledging his ability to turn the team’s fortunes around. One fan even joked that Dyche has eaten “humble pie” after facing intense scrutiny earlier in the season.
The win over Liverpool has not only ended their rivals’ title ambitions but also proved that Dyche’s tactics and leadership are bearing fruit.
The victory is a significant milestone for Everton, and the team’s resurgence under Dyche’s guidance is a testament to his ability to adapt and overcome adversity.
As the season draws to a close, the Toffees will be looking to build on this momentum and finish strong, with Dyche at the helm.
