Liverpool edge Everton to strengthen Premier League title bid

Liverpool claimed Merseyside bragging rights with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Everton, edging closer to their 20th top-flight title. Diogo Jota’s decisive goal on Wednesday night secured three crucial points for Arne Slot’s side, further solidifying their dominance in the Premier League race.

With this win, Liverpool now needs just 13 points from their remaining 24 to guarantee the championship—an achievement that would see them equal Manchester United’s record for the most English top-flight titles.

Their attacking prowess has been unmatched this season, with the Reds scoring a league-high 70 goals while also boasting a joint-best 13 clean sheets.

For Everton, the loss ended their impressive nine-match unbeaten streak and prolonged manager David Moyes’ Anfield woes. The Toffees’ boss has now gone 22 games without a win at Liverpool’s home ground, including 20 Premier League encounters.
