In a highly anticipated Merseyside derby, Liverpool edged out Everton 1-0, securing crucial points towards their Premier League title chase. Diogo Jota's individual brilliance sealed the win, though Everton had a goal disallowed by VAR earlier in the match. The victory provided a much-needed morale boost for Liverpool after their earlier cup disappointments. With Arsenal winning their match, Liverpool's win reestablished their significant 12-point lead at the top of the league, highlighting their dominance this season and maintaining their momentum towards a potential league title.
In what was another fiery Merseyside derby, James Tarkowski incredibly fortunate to stay on the pitch after he won the ball with a sliding challenge but caught Alexis Mac Allister on the knee with his studs with the follow-through.
While Liverpool might have watched their respective EFL Cup and Champions League dreams go up in smoke prior to March's international break, the Reds certainly claimed what was an essential boost here.
