- April 02, 2017

Coutinho stars as Liverpool beats Everton 3-1 in EPL derby
- April 02, 2017
Ten minutes into the second half, Liverpool suffered a blow when Mane was forced off injured, but that enforced change worked in the home side's favour as Divock Origi came on to score the dagger goal. Take your lumps and go home Ronald, we the fans have, because your team gave us nothing today on the pitch. The equaliser didn't come against the run of play, but it was the first time Simon Mignolet had come under serious pressure. (more...)

England manager: Southgate hails Defoe impact
