Liverpool impress as Everton's derby misery continues
- April 02, 2017
The unlikely reverse at the hands of Sam Allardyce's resurgent Palace left Chelsea on 69 points with Spurs having moved on to 62 and Liverpool on to 59, though the Reds have played a game more than the top two.

Speaking to the Mirror , the Germany worldwide said: "People know what I have achieved". Do I stay two months or two years?
