The Liverpool derby reminded irresistibly of some previous, but also of the last few matches of Jurgen Klopp's team.

The "Reds" created and missed chances, Everton scored goals.

In the end - 2:0 for the host at "Goodison Park" for, probably, a definitive blow to Liverpool's shampoo ambitions.

It's not over yet, but when you don't win three out of four games in the Premier League finish, and you're also competing with Manchester City and Arsenal, who rarely make mistakes, then you don't have much of a chance.

Salah and company are second, but they risk minus four against Manchester City - if the "citizens" win the remaining two matches (the first is tomorrow, in Brighton), and they already have three points less than Arsenal.

Four rounds to go, that's a serious gap.

It's a wonder what the guests missed, Darvin Nunes first of all, Luis Dias too, Salah too, Robertson too, the guests were not even lucky, and it's unreal how Everton's goalkeeper Pickford defended everything.

The Liverpool players seem to be playing in fear, in spasms, under great pressure, and in the city derby, where the player's weaker rival fights to the last breath, this is rarely forgiven.

Almost everything they had, the "caramels" turned into goals.

Brentwhite scored in the 27th minute after real confusion in front of the opponent's goal, where the Liverpool defense several times missed the opportunity to eliminate the danger, and the second goal, in the 58th minute, came after a corner - Calvert-Luin scored an unimpeded header.

Manchester United, just like four days ago against Coventry in the FA Cup, was on the verge of collapsing against another (albeit not yet official) second-division team, in the end they pulled through and even won convincingly - 4:2 against Sheffield United, although half an hour before the end was 1:2.

The visitors led twice at Old Trafford - Bogle at 35, p Brereton Dias at 50. minute, between which he only arrived Maguire's goal in the 42nd.

In the last half hour, the turnaround of the "red devils" - Bruno Fernandes from the penalty spot in the 61st, then again Bruno Fernades, but from the game in the 81st, at the end and Hjolund in the 85th minute, brought a triumph for Erik ten Haag's team.

United is sixth, 13 points away from the Champions League zone.

Crystal Palace beat Newcastle 2:0 in London with Mateta's goals in the second half, Bournemouth won 1:0 away to Wolverhampton.
