Liverpool FC secured a dramatic 2–1 victory over Everton FC in the Merseyside Derby, with Virgil van Dijk scoring a stunning 90+11’ winner to seal all three points, Softfootball understands..
Mohamed Salah had earlier opened the scoring in what could be his final derby appearance, before Beto equalised in the second half to level the contest. Just as the game seemed destined for a draw, Van Dijk rose to deliver a decisive late goal in the first meeting between the rivals at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Everton started brightly, with Beto and Iliman Ndiaye both threatening early on, while goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili produced key saves to keep Liverpool in the game.
